Camera Obscura Workshop
Oliver Raymond Barker
Penryn Arts Festival, 2017
Photos: Field NotesIn 2017 Field Notes re-envisaged the Penryn Arts Festival as a celebration of the creative practices of the town’s many resident artists and makers, and as an opportunity to share skills and interests. Throughout autumn and winter, a series of free artist led workshops and dinners took place in the Temperance Hall, in the centre of the town, providing opportunities for residents from different generations and communities to converse, learn skills and engage in creativity.
Camera obscura workshop, Oliver Raymond Barker, 2017
Oliver Raymond-Barker is an artist and maker based in Penryn. He works with photography in its broadest sense, using analogue and digital processes, natural materials and camera less methods of image making to expand upon notions of what photography is and can be.
Oli ran a workshop as part of the festival where he guided participants through the origins of photography and the magic of optics by making a sculptural camera obscura. The attendees used materials including willow, black tape, cardboard and fabric obscura to build their own camera obscura.
