Photo Seeds
Monday & Thursday 3.15 - 5pm Dartington School / £10 per session
Photo Seeds is a photography club that sows inspiration, creativity and nature connection through the art of photography.
Our sessions are fun, playful and educational, with lots of outdoor time! Kids will learn about photography, history, art & science.
See below for a slider gallery of images taken by me at our sessions. The children’s gallery (below FAQS) features some brilliant photos taken by the kids!
In Autumn term we made camera obscuras & pinhole cameras, also anthotypes and cyanotypes. We learned about the people who invented these methods and looked at the work of many inspiring photographers throughout history. We created stories with our cameras, hunted for autumn treasures and looked at Victorian ghost photography! The children also shot some film on my 1940s Rolleiflex camera (spot some in the bottom gallery!).

FAQS
When do the sessions run and how much are they?
Every Monday & Thursday 3.15 - 5pm. Pick-up time has some flexibility as I am usually packing up until 5.30pm. Sessions are £10 each, booked in half term slots.
Does my child need a camera?
It is not essential and many of the kids in my current group do not. We make photos using emulsions and plants in some sessions so no equipment is needed. In the sessions where the kids are using their cameras I pair them up so that everyone gets a go. I also let kids use my own equipment (camera & phone). Parents old phones are also fine to use and bring in.
What is the structure of the sessions?
I make sure there is a good balance between learning and play. We usually watch an inspiring video (up to 10 mins). Then practical sessions, some free play outdoors and a regroup at the end. Email me to view our learning sheets so far.
