Pinhole Photography (ASC158)

Join us for the perfect introduction to analogue and experimental photography.

What will you learn on this course?

Dive into the world of experimental photography in this hands-on, eco-conscious workshop where you’ll transform ordinary drink cans into your very own DIY pinhole cameras. 

Through playful making and experimentation, you’ll learn how to use your handmade camera to capture unique images of the world around you and develop your photographs using sustainable, homemade developer recipes made from everyday ingredients.

Be inspired by a visit to MAC’s current exhibition by artist  Clare Hewitt (on display Sat 18 Apr - Mon 31 Aug), whose work explores nature and the forest through a range of sustainable photography techniques.

The workshop is led by experimental photographer Tom Godwin, who will introduce the unconventional techniques that sparked his passion for experimental photography and guide you through the entire creative process, from building your camera to revealing your final images.
