Join Sula in the KIT FORM DARKROOM to learn how to make photographs without a camera!

Photography in its most essential form is drawing with light. Through excluding the technical distraction of the camera and working with only light, chemistry, and photosensitive materials, we can create truly beautiful and totally unique images.

You’ll spend your time experimenting with a number of different techniques to produce extraordinary images without a camera in sight!

This is a beginner-friendly workshop, and all materials are provided.

In collaboration with our friends at Negative Thinking.

Join Sophie in the KIT FORM DARKROOM to learn how to make eco-friendly developers from plant materials.

You’ll learn how to choose plants to work with and how to extract and concentrate their reactive compounds, before mixing your own developer to take home to continue your experimentation.

Many modern feminists see the European witch-hunt (waves of witch-hunting campaigns across Europe and the British colony in north America from 15th to 18th centuries) as a genocide of women. As such, they see witch-hunting as directly connected to women's oppression today: modern feminists are 'the daughters of the witches that they failed to burn.'

Historians of early-modern Europe tend to disagree that witch-hunting targeted women as women but the mainstream view is often that it was superstitious peasants turning on their neighbours, which the European elites had to try to restrain.

Against this, Elaine Graham-Leigh is presenting a Marxist view which sees witch-hunting at village level as the result of social strain, as emerging capitalist relations start breaking down communities. This wouldn't though take off into widespread witch-hunting if it wasn't useful to the elite. Witch-hunting was a tool which elites could use to advance social control in areas where they felt particularly under threat. It's evidence of the violence at the heart of class and of capitalism.

Saturday 20th June
10:00 - 13:00

Join Sula in the KIT FORM DARKROOM to learn all about the beautiful Cyanotype process!

Invented in 1842 by Sir John Herschel, the Cyanotype uses iron salts to produce a brilliant Prussian blue image that was initially used as a way to quickly reproduce notes and technical drawings. These “Blue prints” have since been adopted by the photographic community as a staple of creative image making.

You’ll learn how to mix the chemistry, to select & sensitise paper for printing, and how to expose & process your images to best take advantage of the distinctive cyanotype look.

This is a beginner friendly workshop, so no previous experience is required, and all materials are provided.
