We’re hosting workshops offering people the chance to explore Cornwall’s heritage through the five ways of wellbeing – connect, get active, take notice, learn and give.
Delivered by Ruth Purdy MA from Make It Better CIC, these free sessions offer the chance to gain a new perspective on the historic landscape of Cornwall and our place within it through the medium of photography.
Get some tips, try out some challenges and share in a love of photography. Become more creative, develop your curiosity and awareness of your surroundings and support your mental health.
