Workshop

Handmade Clay Pinhole Camera & Plant-Based Developers workshop

Saturday 4 July 2026

The art of pinhole photography is a simple camera-less, lens-less technique that uses a light-proof box with a tiny hole to project an inverted image onto light-sensitive paper or film. I will give you some background on the history of this technique before showing you how to make your own pinhole camera. We will use this to take photos using photographic paper,  which will be developed in a plant-based developer that you will make from foraged plants that grow in the nature reserve, where my studio and darkroom are based. 

The workshop takes place in the beautiful West Street Pottery, on the outskirts of Farnham

  • Saturday 4 July, 10.30 - 15.30  (including lunch break).

  • West Street Pottery, Quennells Hill, Wrecclesham, Farnham, GU10 4SL

    There is parking available.

  • Basic photography skills are useful but not mandatory. Age: Adult (18+).

  • Due to accessibility restrictions, there is no access for wheelchairs.

Thrift Journal 

Thrift is a new online and annual limited publication devoted to covering all fields of aesthetics, bespoke, craft heritage, lifestyle, industry practice, material research, & art conservation. It aspires to bridge art, craft, design and industry for a holistic approach to bring balance between the homemade & manufactured in the 21st century.

Eileen has been commissioned to produce a limited edition of bespoke photographs to celebrate the launch of the physical limited edition collectors’ volume.  Using her nuanced processes of printing on recycled packaging using plant-based developers, she will be focusing on memorial flowers, signifiers of remembrance that are placed near the graves in the cemetery, now nature reserve, where her studio is based.
