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. No previous experience is needed, making this the perfect introduction to analogue and experimental photography.
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.
The event also includes a short introductory tour of the I Photograph Comediansexhibition by photographer Andy Hollingworth, offering additional inspiration at the start of the session.
The exhibition features nearly 80 images, including studio portraits, rare contemplative moments off-stage and live stage performances. It also features comedy memorabilia, including a signed pair of Rik Mayall’s underpants and photographs of iconic objects such as Billy Connolly’s banana boots!
