The people's community craft cafe, Duckinfield

Over the summer of 2024 I was commissioned by Jigsaw Homes to run a 5 week photography project with this wonderful group. Our theme was 'Beauty in the Ordinary', which we explored using digital and print based techniques. The group organised a Kids Fun Day and I worked with the children on cyanotype sun prints. The workshops culminated in an exhibition of their project alongside the other beautiful crafts made with visual arts facilitator Sam Edwards. Here's some of their stunning work.
