We were very sad to hear of the death of Slade alumnus Raymond Briggs at the age of 88. We would like to express our sincere condolences to his family.

Raymond Briggs was a writer and illustrator. His books included The Snowman, Fungus the Bogeyman and When the Wind Blows. He studied at the Slade between 1955 - 1957.
