- Erik Svetoft, whose work ‘SPA’ won Sweden's best book design award in 2021.
These renowned artists, alongside numerous others from Poland and beyond, had the chance to explore and use Winsor-Newton and Snazaroo products. The festival also featured various workshops and demonstrations led by collaborating artists, showcasing their use of markers, crayons, pencils, and inks.
