We’ll be using this at the bioLeeds market stall in Huddersfield, Saturday June 28th.
There are two bioLeeds market stalls scheduled, at Huddersfield market Saturday June 28th, and Leeds market Saturday August 2nd, 11am – 3pm.
If you are are interested in helping out with the stalls, or have any form of participatory activity you’d like to try out, please just get in touch.
bioLeeds is a group of people interested in art, design, and making with biology in Leeds city region.
It is a collective name for anything and everything that anyone wants to contribute and is open to anyone who wants to be involved.
Frustrated by the amount of time it was taking to get a market to let us use an empty stall for the bioLeeds market stall, we took things into our own hands and launched an evening of guerrilla bioLeeds activity in the Packhorse pub.
Armed with paint made from natural ingredients, brushes from the pound shop, very small canvases, chromatography paper, a webcam, some salt and a big block of ice frozen in temperatures well below zero (in a University lab somewhere in the north of England), we took over a corner of the pub and started painting.
A big thank you to the staff of the Packhorse, who took it all in good humour, and in fact didn’t even seem to notice.
