Lola Knibb

A Scottish-based illustrator fascinated with the art of visual storytelling. I'm the graduate intern at Dundee Ceramics Workshop and co-director of Fabricants de Futur – a multimedia platform formed by an international network of people, many of whom find themselves living at the margin of society (young people, refugees, creatives, people suffering with mental illness, people with disabilities, displaced people, immigrants and those considered ‘foreign’ or ‘different’ in any way.)

I tell stories and dedicate them to people. They are stories about our experiences as people – about growing up, embarking on adventures, missing home, questioning who you are and where you belong, facing fear, the importance of giving but also dressing up and having fun. All my stories have very real and relatable underlying messages which come from the personal life experiences of myself and those around me.  With this comes a fascination for book making, zines, publishing and creative writing.
