This practical and creative workshop invites participants, both beginners and advanced, to explore eco-adapted photographic techniques using natural materials such as sunlight, seawater, and plant matter.

Day One: Participants will be introduced to cameraless image-making through the cyanotype process. Guided by Aindreas Scholz, they will experiment with papers, composition, texture, and tonality to produce a series of unique, site-responsive prints suitable for bookmaking.

Day Two: Under the joint guidance of Aindreas Scholz and a professional bookbinder (TBC), participants will learn how to transform their unique prints into a tangible, sustainable, and handcrafted photobook. The session covers sequencing, editing, layout, and simple, low-impact binding techniques.

What to Expect

  • Learn sustainable cameraless printing methods using sunlight, water, and eco-friendly photographic chemistry.
  • Experiment with environmentally-friendly materials and found objects.
  • Develop an understanding of narrative and visual flow in book form.
  • Gain hands-on experience in binding and book assembly.
  • Leave with your own completed handmade photobook and practical skills for future projects.
