This workshop is a collaboration with Rebecca from Mindful Photography UK who will demonstrate some simple tasks where you can use photography to slow down and take notice of your surroundings. Please bring a fully charged phone/ camera or tablet, whatever you are most comfortable with.

Even if it rains, still come along to learn about the techniques and you can complete the project at home with your family. Enjoy working in the beautiful surroundings of Scampston Conservatory and the neighbouring Walled Garden – plus the tea and cake which is included!
