4 April

Neil George - Photographer

Neil has been taking photographs for over 50 years and from an early age was interested in using the camera to capture something other than a representational photograph. As the years have passed Neil has come to view the camera not as a way to take pictures but as a way to capture raw materials that can be turned into pictures. The kind of work Neil does now is often referred to as “expressionist”.

Come along to our Meet the Maker session in April to chat to Neil and find out more about his work.

9 May

Don Webster - Woodturner

Don has been a Highworth resident for over 50 years and took up woodturning as a hobby after retiring from his job as an engineer. Don generally works with logs of ethically-sourced native hardwoods donated by friends, neighbours and empathetic local tree surgeons.

Come along to our Meet the Maker session in May to see more of Don's work and chat to him about his passion.
