Ashleigh is carrying out a short research residency with The Slow Camera Exchange as we explore how to integrate sustainable practices into creative Photographic processes.
Ashleighs expertise is as an artist and facilitator working with natural dyes. She has been working on projects growing plants for this purpose. She engaged in a workshop with The Sustainable Darkroom based from London and this workshop will allow participants to engage with some of the creative processes she has been experimenting with during this residency.
