Day 22 of AGA’s Advent Calendar A great wee detail captured by @alasdairwatson.bsky.social - a repurposed plastic cupcake tray that Alasdair mixed his paints in, testament to his resourcefulness. He also painted on reclaimed doors, tabletops and on other people’s discarded artworks.

Wonderful shots by @alasdairwatson.bsky.social of our workshop one week ago by Hussein Mitha, part of a @sgsah Global Connects funded project whose conclusion is a free webinar next month, link in bio and via QR code here ⬇️

Day 12 of AGA’s Advent Calendar Alasdair found this discarded desk in the 1970s missing its back two legs and looking forlorn. He saw value in it and fixed it to the walls of all the homes he occupied. It now lives with us at the archive. Photo by @alasdairwatson.bsky.social
