Pinhole Photography Workshops

Discover the magic of the darkroom and the art of pinhole photography in this hands-on workshop hosted in a local Barcelona gallery. We’ll transform a Coke can into a working pinhole camera, capturing black-and-white images that reflect the city’s vibrancy. This fun and creative experience is perfect for anyone curious about analogue photography.

As a university photography educator and facilitator of participatory photography workshops, I’m passionate about making photography accessible and meaningful. You’ll learn the basics of light and photography, see your images being developed in a popup darkroom, and leave with a beautiful black-and-white artwork you’ve created—a lasting memory of your time in Barcelona. You’ll also meet fellow photography enthusiasts, making it a great opportunity to connect with others while exploring your creativity in an inspiring setting.

What We’ll Do:

• Build Your Camera: Turn a Coke can into a functional pinhole camera
• Explore and Capture: Use your handmade camera to photograph Barcelona in black & white
• Experience the Darkroom: Watch as your images are developed and brought to life
• Create in a Local Gallery: The workshop is run in a vibrant gallery space, immersing you in Barcelona’s creative community
• Leave with a unique artwork: You will leave the workshop with a unique artwork that you have created in Barcelona

The workshop is held in a charming gallery space located just behind the main cathedral in Barcelona’s Gothic Quarter. This historic area, with its labyrinth of narrow streets, stunning architecture, and vibrant energy, offers endless inspiration for exploring the city through your pinhole camera. Its unique atmosphere provides the perfect setting to capture the essence of Barcelona in black-and-white photography.
