Weekend Photography Workshops
Starting out with SLR photography
Working in small groups (maximum of 5) this intensive beginner’s course is designed to allow maximum tutor support for each person. The day is spent on location, exploring how different aperture settings, exposure lengths and film speed ratings affect image quality and how to improve your picture-taking with simple tweaks.
This course is an introduction designed for those with no previous experience and is open to digital or film camera users.
Introduction to the Black & White Darkroom
Working one-to-one or in groups of two only, learn how to process black and white film and produce a contact sheet from your images - if time permits you may even have a print to take home too.
Further Exploration in the Darkroom
Learn how to dodge & burn, create double exposures, make photograms and try your hand at solarization!
Introduction to Cyanotypes
Bring along plants, fabrics, opaque and transparent materials, black & white film & digital negatives for a fun day of contact printing using the sun.
Make a Pinhole Camera
Learn how to make your own lensless camera from scratch using only found materials, e.g. tin cans, old boxes or anything that can be made "light tight".
Create Negatives from your Digital Images (for Hand Processing)
Learn how to use free web-based image editing software to transform your digital images into large negatives, which are suitable for work with cyanotypes, Van Dycks, lumen prints or in the darkroom as a photogram.
Modern Polaroid Lifts
If you remember experimenting with "peel-apart" Polaroid films, or scratching into emulsions you may be pleased to learn that modern Polaroid heat-sensitive papers offer similar experimentation possibilities! Learn how to lift colours, burnish and alter your digital instant images.
