Event Details
Join us for our new Wear Experimenting free photography workshops.
Our new photography project has been devised by local artist and photographer Jo Howell and commissioned by The Cultural Spring and the North East Photography Network.
You’ll build your own camera to track the sun for over the course of a week and find out more about the project and about photography from Jo.
Residents of Sunderland, and those who work in the city, can participate in workshops in Pallion, Millfield and Hendon and there will also be opportunities to encounter the project through a pop-up community darkroom which will appear over the next few months in community and social green spaces.
We also want to see the hashtag #WearExperimenting whenever you’re taking part or talking about the project!
