Create a one-of-a-kind analog photograph with photo negatives and sunlight.

Delve into the world of analog photography by creating lumen prints—handmade collaged negatives that are exposed to the sun—in this immersive workshop led by local artist Heather Palecek. Inspired by the exhibition Photography as a Way of Life: Minor White, Aaron Siskind, and Harry Callahan, participants will learn to observe their environment and understand how photographers work with negatives and light to create their artwork. No experience necessary. Cosponsored by the Princeton Photography Club.

$50 per participant; open to the public (ages 8+; participants under 14 must be accompanied by an adult).
