GLUE has launched a mindful photography workshop in springtime 2023, led by its creative director, photographer and flower artist, Zarina Holmes.
The first of the mindful workshop series, “Still Life Workshop with Seasonal Flowers & Upcycled Containers” is taking place on 20 May 2023 at the iconic Missionworks’ Hanging Garden, a holistic workspace in Hammersmith, London W6.
Participants are encouraged to express creativity and reflect on sustainability through spontaneous compositions of seasonal flowers and upcycled containers such as jars and bottles.
The workshop invites participants to study the materials at hand, have fun improvising and create beautiful images through mindfulness perspective, while exploring the concept of “hear-and-now” and see the potential of each wonderful object in front of us.
The London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham is chosen as the first location for this programme for its determination to be the greenest borough in the country.
