Course Description:
Pinhole photography is the unique process of creating your own functional camera from household items. Learn how to make and use your very own lenseless pinhole camera!

Each student will be provided Information on exposure times and how to take successful pinhole photographs. During the course we will be spending time outdoors taking exposures and then time in the darkroom developing negatives and making positive contact prints.

Requirements:
No experience necessary! Participants should bring 2 objects/containers to be made into pinhole cameras.

In order to make the cost of materials and course fees as affordable as possible, UAS will provide all materials (except for your objects - that's for your imagination!) Participants are required to pay a 20.00 material fee towards the purchasing of group supplies.

Come and raid the UAS Art Supply Exchange Room if you need and object or container!

Instructor Bio:
Michelle Rainey is an ACAD grad and did some pinhole work while a student, but then re discovered pinhole photography about 4 years ago when she and her husband set up their home darkroom, and became obsessed.

Since then she has really immersed herself in the process and has created more than a thousand pinhole negatives and more than 20 home made cameras. Last July Michelle showed a series of her pinhole self portraits and cameras at the Untitled Satellite Gallery. Michelle also participated in the Exposure 2010 photography festival with her photographs and workshop at Arts on Atlantic Gallery. Michelle and her husband Tekoa Predika have done workshops from their home darkroom but this will be Michelle's first workshop at the Untitled Art Society. Michelle and Tekoa's photography business, Rainika, have started doing mobile pinhole projects and workshops with their new "darkroomTent". There will always be more pinholes to do, the possibilities with pinhole photography are uniquely endless.
