Arts Council England
Developing Your Creative Practice Grant

I am pleased to announce that I have been awarded a Developing Your Creative Practice grant from Arts Council England to further my skills with location-specific sustainable photographic processes.

The grant will allow me to creatively explore the Peak District, an area close to where I grew up in East Manchester (Openshaw/Tameside). I will develop my skills with large format photography, cyanotype on alternative substrates and botanical cyanotype toning.

The award will also allow me time and space to spend in my studio at The Margate School. I will be recording my progress and sharing techniques via my Patreon page.
