Pinsta Pinhole Photography for Everyone: Morning Session at Northwind Art
Advertisement
Pinsta Pinhole Photography for Everyone: the Morning Session is the first of two pinhole classes on Sunday, Oct. 11. Teaching artists Jen Cohen and Martin Vanners are celebrating their 50th round of Pinsta workshops, back where it all started, right here in beautiful Port Townsend. You're invited to register for the morning session, the afternoon session or both at https://northwindart.org/collections/courses. Together these sessions will help you push your exploration into pinhole cameras to the next level!
In the morning workshop, you'll learn how to use a Pinsta pinhole camera and experience the fun and magic of making photographs using only a box with a tiny hole — and developing them on the spot without the use of a darkroom. The best part? You don't need any technical or photographic experience to enjoy this wonderful process, and we promise you'll go home carrying one or more impressive analog photographs!
The simple yet elegant Pinsta camera has gained a cult following among photographers and other creatives around the world. Handcrafted by a small team in Great Britain, the Pinsta is both a lensless camera and a portable darkroom, making it possible to create beautiful black- and-white photographs almost anywhere.
No photographic experience is necessary. We welcome first-time Pinsta users as well as those looking for a refresher. During the workshop, students will work with a variety of photographic papers and learn how to develop paper negatives and create positive prints.
Students are encouraged to stay for the afternoon session to continue experimenting with the Pinsta process and explore more advanced techniques, including the experimental method of turning a black-and-white negative into a positive directly in the camera. You can also make additional photographs, and build your confidence using the camera. The afternoon session offers plenty of time to refine your images, try new approaches, and deepen your understanding of this unique photographic process.
