Photography Project 2013

The Friends of the Flaxmill Maltings are launching a photography project to celebrate the Flax Mill Maltings and the people who have been inspired by it.

The project will culminate in a photography exhibition at our September 2013 Open Weekend, which will attract up to 2,000 people. The exhibition will be staged in the Dye House within the Flax Mill Maltings over the weekend of the 7th and 8th September. A private viewing will be staged on Friday 6th September, which all photographers and their guests will be invited to attend.

A photographic book will be produced including all of the images and a brief history of the Flax Mill Maltings and be sold to raise funds for the Friends.

The exhibition is being arranged and managed by the Friends of the Flaxmill Maltings Community Arts Group (FMCA).
