The DRN Conference took place on 11th and 12th of September and was attended by academics, researchers and practitioners from all over the world, from Australia to the United States to Loughborough University.
Wolverhampton Visual Communication lecturers participated - The work of Howard Reid was exhibited and Jessica Glaser presented a paper entitled 'The role of drawing within the development and realisation of designing with type'.

Andrew Selby Head of School of The Arts at Loughborough University, said: "This conference was well attended by a rich variety of practicioners and academics. We knew Drawing Knowledge would both attract attention and provide a great talking point for presentations and it has delivered on this."
