Join The Handmade Darkroom for a workshop where they will guide you through using tea-toned cyanotypes and visible mending to create a fabric-collage notebook cover, inspired by Yuki Kihara’s Dresstories. You will leave with your very own unique, detailed and hand-crafted notebook cover to protect and embellish a provided notebook.

The Handmade Darkroom: Te Whanganui-a-Tara Sustainable Photography Collective was co-founded by Samson Dell and Belinda Whitta in 2023, when the collective was publicly launched after many months of dreaming! They have since created and facilitated many workshops that engage both practiced photographers and the general public. The Handmade Darkroom is a community-centric vessel for artists and photographers that practice analogue photography with a sustainable methodology.
