Make your own calotypes and photogenic drawings at the home of photography, Lacock Abbey.

The workshop will offer a hands-on introduction to the development of paper-based photographic processes at Lacock in the early 1840s, illustrating the chemical development and progress between the photogenic drawing and calotype processes.

Learn more about the historical process with artist Jo Gane and process historian Robert Douglas, handle test prints and antique camera equipment before making your own photogenic drawings and calotypes. This workshop runs for a whole day and includes time creating the images and developing in Lacock's darkroom.
