Lightbox – Half Term Workshops

FEBRUARY HALF TERM WORKSHOPS

LIGHTBOX is a FREE photography workshop project for young creatives aged between 10 and 16.

An opportunity to work on fun photographic projects and learn new skills with Oriel Colwyn’s curator and photographer, Paul Sampson and his assistant Emily Hulme.
