About this Event
Lights, cameras, action! Discover the magic of long exposure photography and ‘paint’ fantastical shapes and figures by capturing the movement of light sources in a dark environment. Led by photographer and artist Ciara Leeming, you'll learn how a camera works and create stunning light effects using different materials. Explore different roles as the director, camera operator and light artist! This hands-on experience is perfect for beginners.
Who’s this for?
Sign up for one of two sessions on Thursday 30, May:
- 10:00-12:00 for ages 7+ and one accompanying adult to join in on the fun
- 13:00-15:00 for ages 14+ (teenagers don't need an accompanying adult)
