Wet Plate Photography
Ever wondered how the Victorians captured photographs? Join photographer Stephen Raff for a one-of-a-kind experience where you'll be photographed using a technique from the 1850s. Not only will you learn about this fascinating process, but you'll also walk away with a unique digital portrait - perfect for your profile picture and a real conversation starter!
Afterwards, you’ll sit down with Cally Hayes from Alright Mate for an informal chat about men’s mental health. This will be an opportunity to share your thoughts and these recorded discussions will contribute to the creation of our new show that we'll be touring across Devon this Spring.

This is especially true in rural areas like Devon, where accessing support can be challenging. Stigma and a lack of awareness about available services only compound the issue. At Alright Mate? CIC, we've found a unique approach to breaking the silence. We believe that creative activities can create space for open and honest conversations.
“Being involved in this makes me feel a bit more like I’m part of a community. I’ve been struggling to break out of that feeling of being cut off from people. It’s made me so much more aware of that need and ways to deal with it.”
