About this event
Join photographer and visual artist Michael Klencher at Gainsborough Community Library and learn how to capture interesting photographs using the pinhole method! This is part of O Projeto Página em Branco which offers high-quality creative workshops for 10-16 year olds during the school holidays.
Workshops take place from 9.45AM to 3.30PM and include lunch, drinks and snacks! Book this workshop on Eequ.
A fun camera workshop where you convert a discarded drink can into a working camera. You will learn the basic principle of photography and use a mobile darkroom to make paper negatives, all in a complete analogue practice.
Your can-camera sees the world very differently, and you will be amazed at how interesting everyday objects can look. Key elements to the workshop include: photography, analogue, camera obscura, science, physics, and lots of fun, creative opportunities!
