Look & Learn

June 2021

Look & Learn was a free short series of lens-based workshops facilitated by UWE Bristol Photography students Josh Adam Jones & Alesha Hickmans. The sessions were across two weekends & centred around themes of community, place-making & mental wellbeing, encouraging participants to explore their local area of St Anne’s, Bristol in a new & exciting way.

Activities included:

  • An introduction to photography
  • Photowalks with set themes
  • Camera-less image making (cyanotype)
  • Zine Production
  • Feedback from all participants was encouraged on shaping activities

10 student volunteers assisted with teaching a basic introduction to photography whilst being on hand to enrich each workshop activity. The main focus of Look & Learn is to encourage exploration of place and promote positive mental wellbeing through the act of photography. 

This project was developed by Josh Adam Jones, Alesha Hickmans and Jack Gibbon, and is gratefully supported by UWE Bristol Community Fund and Quartet Community Foundation. Follow _lookandlearn on Instagram to stay up to date with the project.
