At our Calvert Cookup launch, Jaka Adamic from Tintype Parlour set up his traveling darkroom to create one-of-a-kind tintype portraits using a 19th-century process. Each plate was hand-crafted on the spot, capturing the night, the faces and the spirit of Calvert in timeless silver and black.

We kicked off the official launch of Calvert with The Calvert Cookup - a night out in a Northern Rivers barn surrounded by good food, live music, and even better company.

There’s a certain kind of quiet that comes with a rainy weekend on the farm. The paddocks glisten, the horses and chickens tuck in under cover, and time seems to slow down. For Calvert founder Sean Riley, it’s the kind of weather that nudges you indoors, into the shed, where projects and ideas tend to take shape.
