Workshop with Mark Haworth-Booth
Part of the Responding to Light photography events collection.

£16
Venue: MAKE Southwest
Suitable for: Adults
Poet and artist Mark Haworth-Booth will lead this workshop on connecting photography and verse.
This workshop will look at a number of classic poems inspired by photographs but also look at how the application of strict rules - from the 'decisive moment' to the sonnet - can inspire creativity.
Mark will bring along some original photographs to inspire participants, including works by Bill Brandt, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Paul Caponigro and Tessa Traeger. Photo of MHB by Tessa Traeger.
This event is part of a programme of talks and workshops around the exhibition Responding to Light: the diversity of modern photography, at MAKE Southwest, 16 September - 4 November 2023.
The exhibition will showcase some of the huge range of techniques, subjects, and skills associated with contemporary British photography, including digital and analogue technologies, in large and small scales, 2D and 3D forms.
