Experimental Eco-Photography Four-Week Summer Course

£100.00

Join photographic artist Josie at her four-week experimental eco-photography course this summer.

Based at Mount Pleasant Eco Park, you will be inspired by the venue’s hilltop location, overlooking the valley and ocean at Porthtowan on the north Cornwall coast.

Treat yourself to some creative time, whether a beginner or experienced - if you have kids, it’s a great way for a little timeout from the school holiday demands - and try out the wonderful world of camera-less, nature-based image-making.

The course will cover:

  • Botanical cyanotypes - learn about this ‘bluetiful’ process

  • Experimental cyanotypes - expand your cyanotype skills

  • Light and lumen printing - turn black & white photo paper into colour

  • Shoreline lumens - work with the ocean to create artwork

You will leave with a small portfolio of eco-consciously made photo-art that is unique to you, and hopefully a passion for eco-art practices.

Josie founded Cornwall’s first environment-minded and socially engaged eco-darkroom in 2012 and has a wealth of knowledge to share.
