In this two-part workshop, you will enjoy learning a mix of pottery, pinhole photography and photographic development in the darkroom. On Saturday the 21st Feb, you will be guided through the process of hand-building with clay to create a simple pinhole camera. Over the next month, your cameras will be fired and glazed so that they are robust and ready to use. Return on Saturday 21st March to test your cameras. You'll be shown how to use your new camera and set loose on the streets of Stockport to capture an image. Return to Merseyway Workshop to develop your image with the support of a technician in our brand new darkroom. You will leave the workshop with your new camera and at least 1 black and white photographic print.
DATES AND TIMES:
Saturday 21st Feb, 2PM-4:30PM - Make your pinhole camera from clay.
