'The Journey of Josephus Daniels' Soldiers' Exhibition Opening Night: Illustrations of the Journey of a Coffee Bean by Jhinuk Sarkar

Walthamstow based artist Jhinuk Sarkar illustrates the journey of a coffee bean from the plant to your regular (and more extraordinary) ‘cup of Joe’.

This exhibition is inspired by Craving Coffee’s exquisite coffee menu to celebrate UK Coffee Week 2015. Come and take a look at this series of Jhinuk’s new work using inks, collage and print relief techniques in vibrant colours.

We will have an opening party on 7th May, with the bar open for craft beer, cocktails,wine and food.

The exhibition will run from 8th-31st May and works will be for sale. We will also be collecting donations for Project Waterfall during UK Coffee Week.
