Plastic Cameras: Toying with Science and Art
PH-Class | Registration opens Monday, November 9, 2026 10:00 AM EDT
An extension of the analog black and white introductory class, learn and practice film developing and traditional wet-chemistry printing, but with medium format negatives created with a plastic Holga or Holga-type camera. Delight in this fine art execution utilizing light leaks, vignetting, and the quirky characteristics using one of our plastic cameras, or bring your own Diana, Holga, or bakelite Lubitel!
