Materials will be provided
to make Holga cameras (120 roll film format) into “Pinholgas,” and to
make pinhole cameras out of paint cans. Cyanotype chemistry and a
limited amount of paper will also be provided.
The workshop is already half-full. The last day to register is April 17th, as materials need to be ordered.
