This exhibition brings together two parts of large artistic project celebrating the 50th year of The Ridgeway National Trails, displaying 25 photos by young people and 25 by professional photographer Matt Writtle.
Matt Writtle’s photographic exploration of the Ridgeway’s ancient landmarks, lost features and modern structures culminated in a series of vlogs, a book, Pathways – A Photographic Journey Along The Ridgeway, and an art trail along the Ridgeway itself.
Matt Writtle’s work informed workshops led by Sharp Shots Photo club, with young people aged 5 – 19 years given the opportunity to practise outdoor photography at sites along the Ridgeway. Leaning from skilled teaching, youngsters who may rarely or never experiment with photography or visit the Trail had the opportunity to explore what they value/feel in the countryside, through their creative photographic work.
