A Suffolk Click

PhotoShed is a new weekly photography session organised by The Art Station and led by local photographer Richard Allenby-Pratt whose wonderful images of the Suffolk countryside can be found on Instagram under the name /thesuffolkproject. Join Richard to learn more about how to take a good photo, meet new people, and enjoy being outdoors. Sessions take place every Friday from 10:30am – 12:30pm and the meeting place is the SAX Community Fridge at Queens Head Car Park in Saxmundham (IP17 1DF).

PhotoShed is completely FREE and open to all – just bring along a camera or smart phone and a shared enthusiasm for photography and the Suffolk countryside. For more information, please contact The Art Station via email at info@theartstation.uk or call 07927 770421.

Take a seat

If you fancy taking a seat this summer then head to Eye, where 24 beautifully painted benches have been placed around the town as part of this year’s Sculpture Trail in aid of the Blossom Charity. Aptly named, ‘Sit With Us’, the benches have been kindly sponsored by local businesses and community groups and are decorated by local artists, with the aim to encourage people to sit, chat, relax and enjoy this historic market town.

A trail map is available from local shops and the art installations will be in town until the 10th September. All money raised goes towards the Blossom Charity which supports people going through personal difficulties and challenges, or those facing hardship for many reasons.
