Coming Up at Halide

Lessons and Workshops

We offer hands-on private lessons, group lessons and weekend workshops for artists and photographers of all levels, designed to build technical skills, inspire, and support your artistic journey.

Explore darkroom and analogue photography workshops, dive into experimental techniques, and discover ways to develop, refine, and sequence your work. Our sessions balance practical skills, mentorship, and creative exploration, with opportunities to work alongside experienced facilitators and fellow artists.

Each workshop leaves you with tangible results to add to your portfolio and the confidence to take your practice further.

OpenStudios at Halide

Join us for our first Open Studio day in March 2026 at Halide Studios, Whāingaroa/Raglan! Explore work by our collective artists alongside pieces by all of our collective artists in the stockroom.

Come by for a chat, a cup of coffee, and a relaxed opportunity to see a variety of photographic and lens-based work up close. Whether you’re curious about our creative processes, interested in seeing some work or keen to see our new space and portable darkroom, our open studio days are a welcoming space for everyone.

Meet some of the Halide Collective 10-4pm.

Sign up to our newsletter or follow us on Instagram to find out when the first one will be held.

Fundraising Short Portrait Sessions

Spend 20 minutes in our studio and leave with portraits or professional headshots that reflect your personality and style. Whether it’s for an online profile, for your family, for the back of a book you're about to publish! They could be portraits of your pet or a family photo to send the relatives overseas. We’ll work with what you bring to create images you’ll be proud of.

These sessions support developing Halide Studios’ workshops and art initiatives, helping us nurture creativity in the local community while giving you beautiful, professional results.
