PHOTOGRAPHY WORKSHOP
The Art of Photograms
This playful and immersive workshop is for beginners and professionals alike. Photograms are camera-less photographic artworks created with light and shadow in the darkroom.
Often they are the first project a student will create in an analog photography class to learn about photo materiality and how to use a darkroom. Prior knowledge is not needed.
Instructor Heather Palecek walks you through the art of making photograms, and challenges you to expand the possibilities of this medium. Workshop is presented by the Cranford Library. Visit the Cranford Library calendar to learn more or register to participate; see link below.
