Workshops in
Kamogawa
The most recent
workshop was held in conjunction with Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day
on April 29-30, 2006. A group of 11 pinholers enjoyed making cameras
and photographing around my studio, the beach, fishermen's village, and
terraced rice paddies.
From a workshop
participant:
"Always good to be there to feel the nature,
spend time to take a pinhole
photo, have Shizuka-mama's lunch and meet the new
frinends.
I was awfully busy with my work since March and
especially the week before the workshop,
but now I got some power from Kamogawa.." R.I.

I am currently offering
workshop/study opportunities for individuals and mini-groups in
addtition to the the larger group pinhole workshops that are offered
seasonally on a regular basis.
My studio home is perched on a hill with a 360 degree view.
The ocean is just 3 kilometers away and we are surrounded by Japanese
countryscapes. I have a large black and white darkroom that is easy to
use. There is a gallery with my work on display and sometimes that of
students as well.
Boarding is possible at our place or nearby pensions.
Meals at Edo Photos/Solo Hill are healthy vegetarian cuisine prepared
by Edo's partner Shizuka Tsuruta, well know author of numerous
cookbooks and natural living.
The schedule for individuals and mini-groups is flexible, with weekdays
as well as weekends possible. Pricing depends on the theme and
individuals. Discounts may be offered in some cases to students and
other special cases.
Edo Photos/Solo Hill is located in Kamogawa, Chiba Prefecture, about 2
hours outside of Tokyo on the Boso Peninsula and is easily accessed by
highway bus or JR train.
Workshops themes include:
1. All aspects of pinhole photography including making cameras, working
with paper negatives, film, and Polaroid materials. Developing and
printing are included in the course.
