PINHOLE EXPERIENCES FOR EVERY SETTING

Discover the magic of pinhole through immersive, hands-on workshops and experiences tailored for all ages and environments. Whether you’re seeking creative exploration, team connection, or educational enrichment, there’s a pinhole experience for you.

Every experience includes all materials, no experience needed. Sessions are flexible in format, from hour-long introductions to multi-day immersions, and can be adapted for indoor, outdoor or hybrid settings. Example photos and videos from pinhole experiences are available on Instagram.

Want to bring a pinhole experience to your community, backyard, classroom, workplace, or event? Let’s make it happen. Contact: jen@rawartcollective.org
