About the event
Message in a Bottle is a creative intergenerational project connecting older adults and primary school children through photography, poetry, and art. Come and see their artwork, hear their stories and enjoy a poetry performance!
The project is all about engaging the head, hands and heart through creative activities. Led by photographer Chris Chinnock and designer Jo Macfarlane, in collaboration with West Yorkshire poet Michelle Scally Clarke, the project will allow the students and older adults to make artwork, create poetry and take photographs together, experimenting with ideas and sharing messages with each other and the world.
Chris Chinnock is a Huddersfield-based portrait and commercial photographer. He also delivers workshops for people of all skills and experiences, and runs the social Enterprise Our Creative Connection, which uses photography for social change.
