Member $65/ $75 for General Public. Click HERE to purchase tickets.

Learn the basic techniques of pinhole photography and B&W darkroom print-making techniques with Connecticut photographer Peter Brown. In this workshop, participants will be using a simple plywood-constructed Pinhole camera that takes 4″ x 5″ film holders. Rather than film, participants will experiment with 4″ x 5″ B&W positive photographic paper, which will enable them to process prints using basic B&W darkroom chemicals in a makeshift “dark room” at the Museum.

About Peter:

Photographer Peter Brown resides in Pine Meadow, Connecticut. He received a BFA in 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional design from the Hartford Art School. After graduating, Peter applied his sculptural skills in construction, later changing course and taking a job in the commercial advertising photography field. After apprenticing with two Hartford area photographers, he ventured out on his own to form Woodruff/Brown Photography in 1985. Peter is still active in the field of architectural photography, capturing high-end commercial and residential projects for his architect clients’ marketing and advertising needs. He began experimenting with the pinhole alternative photographic process during the height of the pandemic and was pleased with his initial results, leading him on a unique artistic journey. Peter has also created a series of photographic works featuring abandoned vehicles and assemblage sculptures from discarded and repurposed rusted metals and wood.
