Creative Saturdays: Photography Lab for Kids
Foto Forum Photo Lab for Kids – Let’s Make Photos!
Photography workshop for children and teens
16.05.2026 | 2:00–4:30 PM
This project offers a series of five workshops (one Saturday per month, from November to March) dedicated to discovering photography and the image as a space for play, invention, and creativity. Through a variety of historical, experimental, and contemporary techniques, participants will explore the magic of light and transform simple materials into surprising images.
Each session is hands-on and participatory, designed to encourage imagination and manual skills. The program will conclude with a collective exhibition at the Foto Forum, presenting the works created by the participants to families and the public.
1. Urban Herbarium – Cyanotype
Participants collect natural materials from the city and the park, transforming them into the main subjects of their photographic experiments. Using cyanotype-treated paper, they learn how images are formed and fixed through sunlight, discovering photography through light and shadow. Each participant will create a personal herbarium in the form of a small book or leporello.
2. Posters of Light – Xerography
A creative use of the printer to produce surprising images. Transparent objects, negatives, and various materials are combined to create original posters, encouraging experimentation with layering, color, and composition.
3. Shadow Profiles – Silhouette Printing / Darkroom
Inspired by Marcel Duchamp’s profile self-portrait and the story of Pliny the Elder, this workshop invites participants to create their own silhouettes. Working in pairs, they trace and cut out another person’s projected shadow, then use the silhouette to produce positives and negatives in the darkroom. The activity encourages observation and creativity through light and shadow.
4. The Wearable Camera
Participants build a wearable photographic device that allows them to observe the world from unusual perspectives — like being inside a real camera, upside down. A workshop that encourages play, experimentation, and curiosity.
5. Rayographs
Inspired by Man Ray, participants create experimental images without a camera by placing everyday objects or natural materials onto photosensitive paper to produce unique photographic impressions.
Age: 7–14 years
Cost: €20 per workshop
Duration: 2.5 hours
Location: Foto Forum gallery + outdoor garden
Participants: 4–13
