One for the diary…

Following the great turnout for the first SIGNATURES event in late 2024, I’m pleased to announce the next will take place on the afternoon of Saturday 10 May 2025 at The Turner House Gallery in Penarth.

The next event will run from 12 noon until 4pm and I’ll be announcing the guest speakers in coming weeks.

Again, photographers are welcome to bring along a few of their own self-published photography zines or books to offer for sale on the day. And the ever-expanding ‘box of zines’ will again be available to view and/or accept new additions to continue building the collection of creative photography zines from across Wales and beyond!

More SIGNATURES news here on the Newsletter soon!
