I am a qualified teacher (PGCE Secondary - Design
and Technology) with over 6 years full and part time experience in an
inner city school in Bristol.
What
Happens?
Depending
upon facilities, a day's workshop can include:
- A
PowerPoint presentation on the: science, history, contemporary approaches
and my own work.
- Everyone
making a 'Drink can camera' and using it with photographic paper and
darkroom chemicals to create black and white paper negatives.
- Everyone
making and loading cameras that can take 6-month duration exposures.
- Giving
out templates for 35mm colour film cameras and exposing a colour film
using electronic flash.
- Exposing
a camera to take a 360-degree panorama.
- Demonstration
of other cameras.

Who
is it for?
Anyone
can benefit from encountering the wonder of pinhole photography. In the
past this has included: Primary and secondary schools, Universities, Hospitals,
Prisons, Festivals, Businesses, Clubs and societies, Teachers and (a few)
bored rich people!
I have run workshops in places as diverse as: a tent in a festival, a
railway tunnel and even in a cave.
How
many people?
The
most I have lectured to is 250 and the largest workshop was to 75 (fun
but bonkers!) A maximum of around 20 is more productive.
There are some limits with time and space when it comes to processing
photographic materials and watching the images appear.
With small children some assistance with management of groups is useful!
Materials?
I
provide all the materials although, if travelling by coach, train or plane,
some items may need to be provided due to transportation. I also (as yet)
do not have my own digital projector.

Where
do I travel?
For
one-day workshops I prefer to work within a day's journey from my
hometown of Bristol in the UK, further distances can be negotiated.
If
you require me to do a workshop somewhere warm and can provide accommodation
for my wife and 2 toddlers near a beach that would be fab!
|
How
much?
£220
per day including all materials (travel and accommodation may be extra.)
Part day lectures and workshops can be arranged but if it is necessary
to construct a darkroom, this can take some time. Large numbers of participants
(20+) can also add a small amount extra to the cost.
What
aspects of the national curriculum does the course cover?
Science,
chemistry, optics, history, art, recycling, astronomy, design and technology,
ICT, media, blah, blah, blah, don't worry about it, its fun!

Endorsements:
"Justin's workshops enthuse and inspire our students. They are jam packed
with information, creative and hands on. The students use the work that
they make as part of their coursework. The day flies by! "
Zoe Kingston, photography teacher, Beaufort Community School.
"The
children and I have loved the opportunity to do something totally different.
They have been amazed at the simplicity of photography and the ease with
which you can produce some amazing images. Justin made pinhole photography
a magical, yet scientifically plausible experience for the children. What's
more, we produced some beautiful images for our displays. There was creativity,
science, photography and lots of fun involved."
