It’s a sign of just how bonkers hectic things have been that I am only now sitting down to share that I was invited to write an article for Silvergrain Classics Magazine!!

It features some of the community based work that I do via Our Creative Connection you can visit HERE for more details of that in general.

It was wonderful to be invited by Silvergrain Classics magazine to share a project I was involved with last summer with TSL Kirklees’ Migration Team running Cyanotype Printing workshops with refugees and asylum seekers 💙
My work life can be a bit compartmentalised - but I have been working to bring the different strands together. Just in case you were wondering everything is done under the banner of Our Creative Connection the Social Enterprise that I founded in 2021. All of the commercial, portraits and event work and all of the darkroom and film photography workshops - they are all trading activities that support the social aims and objectives of Our Creative Connection which if you’re wondering what they are can be seen HERE.

Participatory photography doesn’t have to mean taking photos with cameras - I love the accessible nature of hands on traditional photographic techniques like Cyanotype, very simple to learn and lots of fun!

It’s a real kick to see this in print - huge thank you to everyone involved in the project and to Silvergrain Classics for the opportunity to share it with a wider audience.
