Handmade Fun: Tinted Photos


Handmade Fun: Tinted Photos

Have some creative, hands-on fun as you learn to tint black-and-white photographs, bringing them to life with a bit of colour and a lot of imagination. 

Hand-coloured photographs were popular in the mid-to-late 19th century, before the invention of colour plates and film. We’ll bring black-and-white photographs to life by using our fingers as well as our imaginations, and getting crafty with pastel crayons.

Jumpstart your imagination and stretch your creative-thinking skills with these drop-in workshops for ages 5 and up.Themes change regularly and are designed to foster creativity.

These programs may be pre-empted by a special event.
