At TinyGallery, we bring it back not as nostalgia, but as a way of looking again: at images, at symbols, at the invisible currents that run beneath the surface of things.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    Each workshop is built around the current exhibition — \u003cem\u003eGrand Art in Photography: Symbolism, Esotericism, Occultism\u003c\/em\u003e — and draws on its archive of images, ideas and atmosphere. You will leave with prints you made yourself, and perhaps with a different sense of what a photograph can hold.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\n  \u003c!-- ══════════════════════════════════\n       WORKSHOP 1\n  ═══════════════════════════════════ --\u003e\n  \u003cspan class=\"tg-label\" style=\"margin-top:1rem;\"\u003eWorkshop 01\u003c\/span\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003eApparition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"tg-pull\"\u003e\n    The invisible in photography has held its place from the very first moment light touched film — as though every image carries something that insists on remaining.\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    What does a photograph retain that the eye does not? This workshop opens with a brief historical survey of photography's long entanglement with the unseen: spirit images, double exposures, the trace left by bodies that were no longer there. We move through the archive of the current exhibition, pausing on images where absence speaks as loudly as presence.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    Then we make. Using the cyanotype process and a selection of copyright-free images — as well as prints from TinyGallery's own collection — each participant creates three images.
