Junior Workshops

How does a blossom look through a lens?
How can I draw with light?
How do I feel in front of the camera, and behind it?

In two- to four-day workshops, young participants between 8 and 13 take a playful approach to different artistic questions, schooling the photographic eye of those taking part. Participants learn new techniques and let their own creativity flourish.

Where are we headed?

Young artists embark on an imaginary voyage, making and photographing collages. They then photograph projections of the collages and become part of the work they themselves have created.

Dark Room of Wonders

Photographing without a camera

With a wave of a wand, shapes and objects appear on the treated photopaper. The participants’ images appear on paper as if by magic through the careful use of light from the enlarger and a dip in the developer bath.

Fruitylicious

Good enough to eat!

Can you imagine a hat made from spaghetti, earrings created from parsley, or a necklace fashioned out of radishes? Young participants choose which ingredients and food to use in a photoshoot.

After taking a look at Linda McCartney’s photographs, young participants examine the composition and contents of Polaroids and finish by recreating their favorite image. Before—after!

And it does move!
