Sunnydown School Photogram Fun

On Wednesday 5 June Caterham’s Art department had the pleasure of hosting a workshop for eight Second Year boys from Sunnydown School. Sunnydown School is a special state school for boys aged 11 to 16 with communication and interaction difficulties, including autism. 

Mrs Parsloe ran a photography session on how to create ‘photograms’. This is a darkroom activity whereby objects are placed on light sensitive paper, exposed to light and then processed. The boys had some really lovely results and enjoyed their session. We had some lovely comments but the quote of the session was this; “I love this kind of photography! It’s just like magic!”

We have close ties with Sunnydown and hope to continue this link in the years to come.
