Join us for a morning of creative activity led by Dear Earth artist Zoe Hamill in a fun filled session exploring alternative photography.
Embrace imperfection and experimentation as we learn about less toxic photo processes in this hands-on session. Use plant-based chemistry to create cameraless prints on photographic paper, before entering our DIY darkroom to make an analogue print from images on your phone. All are welcome, no previous experience required!
In connection with this event, you are welcome to visit the Dear Earth show at any point throughout the opening day. Visit the Kirkcaldy Galleries upstairs from the workshop.
