Lacock's Henry Fox Talbot invented the photographic negative at the abbey in the 19th century. Inspired by the artistic talents of his family, Talbot's own methods of capturing light and image helped shape modern photographic techniques.

Art boxes in the orchard: 25 May - 2 June, Camera handling: 27 May, 1 and 2 June, 'Mud' photography workshops: 28 and 29 May, 10.30 - 12.30 and 1.30 - 3.30, Cyanotype making: 30 and 31 May
