A broad range of workshops and activities are available to be facilitated and delivered to diverse audiences with a focus on the camera obscura and alternative photographic processes. Collaborative work has been undertaken with many national and international organisations, including The Photographers’ Gallery, the V&A, Penumbra Foundation, Positive View Foundation, Beyond The Box, Multistory, Ilford Photo, and the Royal Albert Memorial Museum, as well as multiple educational institutions including The Aperture Foundation, University of The West of England Bristol, Bath Spa University, University of South Wales, The University of Plymouth and Spaeda Arts Education..

Participants have been drawn from a wide range of backgrounds, including individuals with additional learning needs, hearing impairments, behavioural challenges, and lived experience of homelessness, domestic abuse, or mental ill health. Further engagement has been undertaken with students, academics and enthusiasts, as well as other creative practitioners and members of the general public. Negotiating and supporting the needs and expectations of such a diverse range of people requires the ability to communicate often complex themes and approaches in a variety of ways which, if managed effectively, can lead to truly exciting and original results.

1:1 and small group training and mentorship is also available as bespoke learning experiences covering a variety of processes and techniques including camera obscura building and operating, the RA4 colour reversal process, a wide variety of cameraless photographic techniques and traditional darkroom printing.
