Play with the physics of light, building a camera obscura to view and paint the world upside down.
About this Event

Join us to create your own camera obscura to take home, used as a drawing aid since the 16th century. Our educators will guide you to build this dark box, which will show you an upside-down view of the world. Just like early artists, be inspired to record what you see through drawing and painting.


This workshop is suitable for children aged 7-12 years and a carer must be present during the workshop.


All materials are provided and bookings are essential.
