AL QUI MI A - WATER- Fishing, Marine Biology, Printmaking, Gastronomy

At the direct gyotaku workshop on Sunday 30 April at the Oficina Bartolomeu dos Santos (OBS) Printmaking Studio in Tavira, Portugal everyone made fantastic prints from a variety of fish, prawns and cuttlefish. A delicious lunch was shared on the roof terrace overlooking the Gilão river, which was very kindly cooked by my friend the artist Margarida Plama, a founding member and board member of OBS.
