Join Fun Family Workshops
Join our education team at two family-friendly photography workshops.
Free Collage Workshop
Inspired by images in the International Photography Exhibition 163, come and create your own imaginary landscape. Using collage materials, construct a landscape image filled with colour, creatures and nature that shows your idea of an 'ideal world' - what will you create?
Creative Cyanotype Workshop
Print your own cyanotype onto a postcard or RPS tote bag for you to keep and take home afterwards. Cyanotype uses a light-sensitive solution and sunlight to create striking and beautiful blue negatives.

Buy Prints and the Zine
