The camera obscura is one of the simplest and most magical ways to make an image: a box, a tiny hole, and light itself. Long before modern cameras, artists and scientists used pinhole devices to observe the world and to understand how vision works.

In this one-day workshop, we’ll build our own pinhole cameras using everyday materials, learning the basics of light, shadow, and exposure. Then, we’ll step outside to create photographs with them, developing the images by hand.

You’ll leave not only with a working pinhole camera, but with a direct experience of photography’s most fundamental principle: light making form.

✨ A workshop for anyone curious about art, science, and the beauty of simple tools.
