PHOTOGRAM WORKSHOPS
Experience the magic of a darkroom and create photographic prints without using a camera!
In this fun workshop facilitated by Photo Museum Ireland’s Education expert Darragh Shanahan, you will create 3 unique photograms, using small objects from home. This photographic technique is a fun, educational tool that allows you to take a refreshing step back to basics from the digital age, using items from your local environment.
Photograms
What is a Photogram?
A photogram is a photographic image made without a camera by placing objects directly onto the surface of a light-sensitive material such as photographic paper and then exposing it to light. This process has been around for almost 300 years. The first photo-book ever published was British Algae: Cyanotype Impressions by Anna Atkins, made entirely with photograms.
This workshop gives hands-on access to all the tools required for creating a photogram. Each students photogram is a unique work of art, theirs to take home.
