About

Join local artist Greg Elms for a hands-on alternative photography workshop. Since the 1990s, Greg has been using a flatbed scanner as an unconventional camera for making photographic artwork. In this unique workshop, Greg will share his experience with participants to discover the creative potential of the humble scanner as an image-making tool.

Workshop participation (voluntary): Participants at the workshop are encouraged to bring along an item, no larger than A3 size, to create their own artwork with the scanner during the workshop.
