Lisbon and Sustainable darkroom training in Chamusca
I’d never been to Lisbon before, loads of galleries, saw so many fantastic and interesting pieces of art and artifacts. Scores of dada stuff that i had never seen in real life before at the Museum of Contemporary Art but loads of highlights, also great soap and hat shops. Sustainable darkroom training was fun, but the heat did overwhelm me by the end, anyhow got to have my first go with plant chemistry.

Artslab ‘pimp my cornish clobber’
Category is workwear, great to work with two local schools and Wheal Martyn CLay works on the first of these projects. After the making from scrap, the children wanted to have a catwalk celebration. Less studio photography than expected but I do have a couple of rolls to develop.
