Plant based photography workshop with Fiona Robinson

Sunday 22 March / 2pm – 4pm / Open Eye Gallery / RSVP 

Spaces are limited. If you’re unable to attend, please return your ticket at Eventbrite

Explore the historic and environmentally friendly process of making anthotype photograms!

This is slow and camera-less photography, so we’ll spend some time exploring the process, extracting colourful emulsions from plants such as tulips and spinach, and setting up so that you can take your images home to expose them (be prepared to wait a week to see what you have made).

We will provide everything you need, but If you want to bring some Interesting shaped leaves to use In your picture then please do!

This event is part of LOOK Climate Lab 2026, a biennial programme by Open Eye Gallery.

Fiona Robinson is a socially engaged photographer based in Salford. She works with people to build community, confidence and photographic skills.
