Suitable for adults and children who are supervised. Using light sensitive darkroom paper with a developer made using ash and used coffee grounds, participants will be shown how to make the ‘mud’. We will then explore how this changes the paper by throwing the mud at it and applying it to foliage and making relief prints.

This workshop will take place outside but undercover. Gloves and disposable aprons are provided but Mud Photography gets messy so please wear suitable clothing.

Session 1: 11am – 12.30pm
