    In-Person

    $150/$125 for members [register here]

     

    In this workshop, we will experiment with some of the earliest photographic techniques to create a pinhole camera out of vintage Japanese matchboxes. Using 16mm film, we will shoot a sequence of single frames using the matchbox pinhole camera, process the film in the darkroom, and use the negative to create images that can be enlarged, printed, and projected. This workshop will be taught by VSW Project Space resident Tetsuya Maruyama.

    Limited to 10 students
