Photography & Poetry Field Trip with Robert Dash & Abigail Prout

PHOTOGRPAHY and WRITING WORKSHOPS On Saturday we start the morning at Lime Kiln State Park overlooking the Salish Sea and learn techniques for deep seeing, moving at the speed of lichen, and develop image selections in response to the natural world and our inner story. Author and noted photographer Robert Dash will be joined by poet Abigail Morgan Prout to create a supportive container for seeing, listening, and walking in nature.

Bring your journals, sketch books, and camera gear of any type for this "ekphrastic" blending of visual imagery and poetry exploration.

Robert will focus on photographic visual storytelling. Abigial on nature inspired poetry writing. Both help deepen either skill set.

From the sea, we will journey up the hill to a Land Bank Preserve and will be joined by Shauna Barrow to look at the story of the land, in its own voice. After a picnic lunch, we will head to the Saturn's Return farm and select photographic images and short writings that tell the story of our close observations. Selections of these works will be showcased during the Saturday evening dinner at Brickworks.
