BOOK NOW In this two-part workshop, you will enjoy learning a mix of pottery, pinhole photography and photographic development in the darkroom. On Saturday the 20th June, you will be guided through the process of hand-building with clay to create a simple pinhole camera. Over the following month, your cameras will be fired and glazed in our pottery so that they are robust and ready to use. Return on Saturday 18th July to test your cameras. You'll be shown how to use your new camera and then set loose on the streets of Stockport to capture an image. Back at Merseyway Workshop you will be able 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 negative photographic print. DATES AND TIMES: Saturday 20th June, 10:30AM-12:30PM - Make your pinhole camera from clay. Saturday 18th July, 10:30AM-12:30PM - Use your pinhole camera and process at least 1 image. Please ensure that you are available on both dates before booking your spot on this workshop.
