Urban Photography Experience!

Explore Nottingham’s public art and improve your photos. Plus extra date for Art Deco Pub Talk.

I’m exploring collaborations with some of my fellow creative freelancers in Nottingham. First up, a Smartphone Photography Workshop with Lamar Francois.

Lamar took the photos for my WatsonFothergillWalk website and I’ve had a keen eye on his career ever since. He has documented the Standing In This Place project and recently started running photographer workshops to help you take the best photos with the device in your pocket.

I thought this would make a good opportunity to explore my new obsession with Nottingham’s public artworks, so we are hosting a joint workshop on Saturday, 14 June, starting at 5 pm.

Tickets are available on Eventbrite. There are just six places available.

Lamar will lead the photography side of things, while I will be talking about the stories behind the artworks and making sure we don’t get lost on the way from Nottingham Playhouse (home of Anish Kapoor’s Sky Mirror) via Nottingham Canal to the Broadmarsh Greenheart, home of Nottingham’s newest Bronze statue, Rachel Carter’s Standing In This Place.

This will be a great chance to get one-to-one photo tuition, learn how to improve your pictures and make some art about art!

My talk on Nottingham’s Art Deco Pubs at The Abdication has filled up so quickly that we’ve added a second date. Tuesday, 22 July, doors 6.30 pm. Please contact The Abdication directly for tickets. Update this is very nearly full-up so be quick!

Meanwhile, I’ve got some weekday availability for group tours – so if you’d like to show off Nottingham’s architecture to your friends, have a social gathering with a difference or plan something for your club or U3A group drop me a line here.

Tickets for this event

I’m a member of Nottingham’s Women in Business networking group, Blue Stockings Society. Together we have put together a new event on Thursday 28 July starting at 7 pm. It will comprise a short guided walk that takes an entertaining and informative look at the architecture and history of The Lace Market – with buildings by architects Watson Fothergill and Thomas Chambers Hine, as well as the modern urban landscaping that makes the area unique.

After the walk, there will be a networking session at The Angel Microbrewery, inside the historically interesting Old Angel Pub on Stoney Street in the heart of the quarter. Tickets are available here and open to both members of Blue Stockings and non-members who are interested in meeting other local women in business. The event is for women only. Tickets are available from both Watson Fothergill Walk and Blue Stockings Society, but numbers for the walk are limited so please book in advance.

Tickets for all forthcoming guided walks – The Watson Fothergill Walk and The Hine Hike – are available here on Eventbrite. If you’re interested in a guided architecture walk for your group, then send Lucy a message here.
