Arts & DIY
The Sheldon Art Galleries are hosting a new set of classes to promote the arts and the making of craft.
Join local pinhole photographer Mark Appling Fisher for this three hour presentation, where you’ll learn a bit of history of pinhole cameras, see some examples of Mark’s work using a variety of his homemade pinhole gizmos, as well as commercially available lenseless cameras.
There will be opportunity for you to make a pinhole camera from an empty paint can, shoot some pinhole images using a paint can pinhole camera (yours to keep after the workshop), and Mark will demonstrate how to create your own body cap pinhole for your digital or film SLR.
All ages welcome
empty paint cans, and all the materials needed to make a pinhole camera, and the materials to print a photo from the pinhole cameras made in class

Project Creativity is a new series of craft and art-making classes offered by the Sheldon Art Galleries, designed to help you discover your creative abilities! This summer, we offer our first set of classes, teaching the art of flower origami and pinhole camera-making. A cash bar and light snacks will be available. Bring friends and make it an evening of fun, cocktails and creative crafting!
The not-for-profit Sheldon Art Galleries exhibits works by local, national and international artists in all media. Over 6,000 square feet of the galleries’ spaces on the 2nd floor are permanently devoted to rotating exhibits of photography, architecture, music art and history and children’s art. A sculpture garden, seen from both the atrium lobby and the connecting glass bridge, features periodic rotations and installations, and the Nancy Spirtas Kranzberg Gallery on the lower level features art of all media. The Sheldon actively supports the work of St. Louis artists in all mediums and features a dedicated gallery with museum-quality exhibits by St. Louis artists, past and present.
