World Pin Hole Day

I am led to believe this is not a joke, there is a day celebrating pinhole photography, ……….why not a day for short fat bald blokes?

To celebrate Worldwide Pinhole Day, Silverprint will also be joining in with our very own Pinhole Day on Friday 4th May. There will be a workshop, special offers on all pinhole cameras and books, plus the debut launch of our 1st Silverprint Pinhole Competition with some fantastic prizes and interesting categories.

The workshop is free and will be held at 11am on Friday 4th May. It’s limited to 10 participants so you’ll need to be quick; please email anna@silverprint.co.uk before Friday 26th April.
All materials will be provided, so just bring your creativity and have some fun!
