BIG LIGHT - Photogram Workshop

To celebrate the launch of BIG LIGHT, Merseyway Workshop's brand new photographic darkroom, we are hosting an exciting series of photographic and thematic workshops, made possible with support from UKSPF.

In this photogram workshop, photographer Ela Skorska demonstrate cameraless photography techniques, creating dynamic images without photographic negatives. The process involves placing objects directly onto light-sensitive paper in order to create interesting compositions of silhouettes and ghostly outlines.

If you'd like to bring in small, interestingly-shaped objects to work with, you are welcome to do so. A range of objects will also be provided.

The workshop will take place between 10AM-5PM.

10AM-12PM: Introduction and short talk, collecting objects.

12-1PM: Lunch break

1-5PM: Play time, you can stay as long as you like developing your photograms, with Ela on hand to troubleshoot any issues along the way.

This is a FREE workshop requiring a £10 deposit which will be returned to you upon your attendance of the event. We do it this way to prevent no-shows. If payment of the deposit will be a barrier to your participation in the event, please get in touch and we will be happy to come to an arrangement.

Spots for this workshop are very limited. In the event that you are no longer able to attend, we ask that you let us know by email (info@merseywayworkshop.com) with as much notice as possible so that we are able to transfer your ticket to somebody else, rather than your spot going to waste.
