This year's Ashfield event, organised by Ashfield District Council Arts development took place at the Ashfield Women's Centre and was attended by people of all ages and backgrounds. It took as its theme "A Vision of Ashfield" with the workshop members using a series of photographs taken from all over the District as their starting points.

It was particularly encouraging to see older, more experienced artists acting as mentors and helping the younger ones develop their skills.

Jonathan Annable, the local artist and event tutor, remarked on the high quality of the work and how the young people had gained in confidence during the day by 'having a go' at what was to some a new experience.
