With two taking place in Beverley and one in Goole, the workshops also aim to encourage people to enter this year’s ‘Capturing the East Riding’ photography competition which opens in October 2014 and will have the theme @Work, Rest and Play.

The workshops from 10am – 3pm on each day will feature an illustrated talk by Lee on her life as a photographer, a presentation of her own images of the East Riding and a ‘hands-on’ photography session which will involve taking photographs outside (weather permitting). Participants will get practical advice and receive feedback on their photos during this interactive session.

The Workshops will take place on Saturdays 12th April and 5th July at the Treasure House in Beverley and on Saturday 4th October 2014 at Junction in Goole.

Space on these workshops is limited so advance booking is required. Places will be given on a first come, first served basis.
