[Meet Up] Learn to Make a Pinhole Camera (June 20th)

Jo O'Brien Jo O'Brien 5019 posts

In case you haven’t looked out a window lately, it’s really cold and yucky out there. Which is why now is the perfect time to stay inside with a heater going and make pinhole cameras.

You can make them with a short bread container and paper or a match box or even a biscuit tin and some old cans.

And now I’m amassing enough containers and film and black gaffer tape and ‘people who know which bit sticks to the other bit’, for a little group of us to hang out making pinhole cameras.

Date: Saturday June 20th
Time: All day event
Where: RedBubble Office Richmond
Cost: $5-$10 to cover materials
Help for the clueless: soxyfleming and jemimalovesbigted

Perfect for the pinhole novice; you’ll walk away with a pinhole camera, some developed negatives and a day full of fun memories. If you are yet to be convinced, gawk at this for some inspiration.

Limited spaces (or the RedBubble toilet/makeshift darkroom will be really squashy)
Attending: soxyfleming, jemimalovesbigted, Jo, John, Paul, Sarah, other Paul, Steve and Annie

Poor John, I’m sorry if you will miss this little meet up because you are busy jet setting across the USA on a holiday, in the sunshine ;)

The Writers’ Meet is already booked in for that Sunday, so let’s avoid doubling up and keep to Saturday.
