Build a simple pinhole camera and experience one of photography's earliest image-making techniques!

Inspired by Hiroshi Sugimoto's interest in capturing time through photography as a contemplative medium. This workshop focuses on the essential elements of photography—light, time and observation.

Learn how light travels through a tiny aperture to create an image before stepping into a darkroom to develop your own photographic print.

In this workshop, you will:

Build your own pinhole camera

Experience image-making as a slow and intentional act

Take home 1 handmade pinhole camera and 1 A6 photographic print

This programme is presented in conjunction with the exhibition, Hiroshi Sugimoto: Form Is Emptiness.
