In this hands-on workshop, you will make both your camera and chemistry!
Join us in-person to create your own miniature photographs using a DIY homemade pinhole camera, built from waste materials and developed in plant matter. The day will include foraging for plants which will be used in the darkroom to develop your images.
Explore the world of slow photography through this ancient form of image making. The art of pinhole photography is a simple camera-less, lens-less technique that uses a light-proof box with a tiny hole to project an inverted image onto light-sensitive paper or film.
The workshop takes place in a beautiful Gothic former caretaker's lodge nestled in a disused Victorian cemetery, now a nature reserve, on the outskirts of Winchester.
