We are so happy to be working with Paula Smith for a pinhole camera photography demonstration and workshop during our Arts and Heritage Fair on 8th July.
Paula has been taking photos in St Peter’s churchyard for a long time, and we can’t wait for her to share her skills with you
Julia’s Recent Works on Paper are being displayed on the church balcony throughout the next 2 weeks, and she’ll be joining the Arts and Heritage Fair on Saturday to both lead a collaging workshop and demonstrate her ‘visual minutes’ practice— live illustrating the events!
Our first local creative spotlight is on Jason Hawkridge, who is leading the very first FREE workshop of Forestival 2023!
Feel free to drop in and try your hand at drawing, whether you have lots of experience or none at all!
