So when the grey days of late
winter are crowding in and those friends who can afford it are taking airborne
flights to warm shores, how do I get a break?
Last weekend I got a very
different kind of break.
On Saturday I went with Extinction
Rebellion friends and made 3D models of deep sea creatures like sea angels,
dragon fish and Dumbo octopus. These models will be used in a spectacular
parade to protest against the damage done by deep sea mining.
On Sunday I joined Carenza and
took a beginner's course on screen printing. I came away with ten moody prints
of an image I made of the Primaporta Augustus.
At the end of the weekend I had
learned several new skills and worked closely with a new set of people.
And I came away with a sense of wellbeing that will
hopefully last longer than an out-of-season suntan.
