Create Your Own Pinhole Camera
Go back to basics with this workshop and learn how to construct your own cardboard camera, then use it to take photos.
This class will cover the basics of pinhole photography followed by the magical chemical process of developing black and white prints in a darkroom.
During the course of the day, you’ll make your own 5x4inch camera from cardboard, use direct positive paper to make photographs with the camera outside and then use developing paper in the darkroom to develop your photographs.
Wonderful and stimulating workshop. Would love to do more. Thank you Kit, it was a total pleasure.
