During this hands-on studio workshop, we will explore how photography can be used to explore our world and inspire the poetic imagination. Each student will have the opportunity to create original artistic photographs, with real prints on paper! We will also use the photographs to inspire creative writing, and to discover how visual art and poetry can be combined in new and creative ways.
*Cameras will be provided. No previous photography or writing experience required
This workshop is FREE, aimed at young students aged 12–18, and limited to 12 participants.
