SIXTY people who visited a gallery at the Oxford Castle took part in a workshop to make their own pinhole cameras.
Artist Mary Foulkes is exhibiting 24 photos at the O3 gallery off New Road which she took with a pinhole camera made from a biscuit tin.
People who visited the gallery on Saturday were shown how to make their own cameras, which they then took home to try out.
Miss Foulkes, 33, from Headington, said: “You don’t need much more than a light-tight biscuit tin with some photographic film in it, and you can then take pictures and get the film developed in a lab. I’m hoping people who manage to take pictures with the cameras will send them into the gallery.”
Gallery manager Helen Statham said: “The exhibition started on October 15 and has proved very popular. We were going to finish this weekend but it is so popular we will keep it going until next Sunday.”
