We are so excited to be hosting the Light Over Winter exhibition at our Newcastle Common space from Friday 7 to Saturday 29 January 2022. The exhibition features photographs produced by participants of Appetite and GRAIN Photography’s Our People, Our Places project, which celebrates the locations, residents, people and places of Stoke-on-Trent, Newcastle-under-Lyme and surrounding areas. Drop-in for free and see the exhibition daily from 11am to 4pm at our Newcastle Common space on High Street, Newcastle.
Light Over Winter showcases work created during workshops and explores one of the key fundamentals of photography – Light, through various photographic techniques such as Lumen Printing and Long Exposures, the photographs also reflect on the Winter Season.
