Narrative and photography with Melanie Stidolph

Melanie Stidolph

January 22, 2026

Join artist photographer Melanie Stidolph for this engaging and inspiring session where we will create shared stories through photography.

Our starting point – Mr Ellis’s ship ‘Truelove’ – built from floorboards in the 1900s and moved to the sea’s edge in Penzance (never to leave it).

We will go into town to find inspiration for our photographs then gather to share our images and connections, editing them together to form a new story.

Bring your phone or camera or please let us know if you would like to use a tablet that we can provide.

This session is part of The Active Looking project from Make it Better CIC (Mitber), working with creativity to foster wellbeing.
