28.04.10 State of Design AGDA Design Fete /

The AGDA Design Fete was a huge success, we had a great time and hopefully gave the public a little insight into screen printing, as well as a few nice takeaway postcards. The crowd had an experimental science lesson with Chase and Galley, bobbed for apples with Pip & Co, lassoed Canyon's bright green horse, got tattooed at the Co-op and Southsouthwest's Psycho Tatt Parlour and admired the brandless Spencer James food cart. Thanks to Simon from Peptolab for the hours he put in to organise the event.
