Sid had the most delightful time visiting @waybadpress press in Dublin, Ireland! Conor pulled out a million gorgeous prints from the archives and so many beautiful zines that it was almost overwhelming. They’ve got an extensive colour roster that can do so much but there something extra special about the aqua on black 😍 here’s hoping we can get a fraction as good as them one day!

It was such a joy to have the incredible @nikoctober join us in the Stu to lead a workshop on making paint! We used pigments mixed with simple binders to make our own paints and then spent some time seeing how they looked on paper :)

The most delightful evening of learning that we are all djs already plus getting to experiment with the tools to build a vibe thanks to @woodland_bot who even indulged us in a little set just for us ! It looks like there’s gonna be some new djs on the scene real soon and we’re looking forward to building for more nights like this 🕺🏻🎧
