# Event Details - **Event Name**: Family PORTRAIT by the sea x BLUE SPARKS (location: Mount Batten) - **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 04 Apr, 2026 at 02:00 pm – Sat, 04 Apr, 2026 at 04:00 pm - **Event Description**: Fun, creative and educational | Environmentally conscious photography experience for families - followed by a RAW, honest family portrait.About this EventAs part of the BLUE SPARKS initiative, we are inviting families to join our coastal series of workshops, and explore the wonders of seaweed and coastal stories, followed by unique FAMILY PORTRAIT with the sea as a backdrop.It's a playful and hands-on experience where families, photography and the sea come together.Set across coastal locations around Plymouth, each session creates a space where families can connect with one another, their surroundings, and the photographic process itself.THE COSATLINE BECOMES A (not so quiet) QUIET FACILITATOR, and the camera becomes a tool for: connection, reflection and expression. Children often lead without knowing they are leading, Adults often rediscover without expecting to - we introduce photography not as a technical skilss, but as a language of attention. A way of asking: what do you see ? what matters here ? how do we hold this moment together ?WHAT WILL WE DO?We will explore the coastline together - noticing textures, collecting bits and piece, sharing stories and ideas. We will be exploring handmade pinhole cameras from recycled materials, experiment with analogue photography in its rawest form, we will step inside a portable darkroom by the sea, we will watch images appear through a seaweed-based developer and we will follow curiosity, not instructions.THE FAMILY PORTRAIT is not the goal. It is a trace, a result of time spent together >> at some point, without forcing anything - we will create your family portrait by the sea. Natural and relaxed. A little bit windswept, maybe. A photograph that feels like you.[this work draws from socially engaged photography and phototherapy-informed practice, where the image is not only seen, but felt, experienced, and co-created.]WHO IS IT FOR ?For families in all shapes and forms.
