Art and craft workshops for adults
Provan Hall regularly hosts workshops for adults exploriong historical topics through art and craft. Our workshops are accessible and engaging, and great for people looking for something a bit different in an inspiring setting.
Pinhole Camera Workshop
16 November, 13:00-15:00, £38
Join Artist Joanna Twaites for a Pinhole Photography workshop at Provan Hall.
Each participent will be given a pinhole camera to work with and photographic paper to experiment capturing the gorgeous Provan hall scenery using this early photographic method.
Pinhole cameras are known for capturing visions of ghosts and spirits - and as Provan Hall is notoriously haunted, well, perhaps something spooky will turn up in the dark...
The workshop will begin with a tour of the house, and tales of past residents whose ghosts are rumoured to haunt the site to this day.
You then will be introduced to the processes of pinhole photography including how to assemble a DIY camera, how to use your camera to successfully expose an image, developing a negative on photographic paper in a dark room.
