Duke University MFA Candidate Will Warasila has been photographing SE Stokes County since last fall. He has captured many striking images of the people and local landscape.

As we return to our monthly Monday mornings at the Walnut Cove Library, we will work with Will to develop some moving contemporary images using personal “keepsakes” that have been past down or objects that have some sort of personal significance (jewelry, nicknacks, watches, etc) and photograph them on a neutral background in ash with people's hand(s) in the frame some how.

We will not be using actual coal ash at any point during this project.
