Lewis Carroll was an excellent photographer at a time when few people had cameras. His photographic chemical box, with his initials “C. L. D.” on the lid, is on display in the Museum of the History of Science. His old glass-plate camera has not survived.

2pm - 4pm The Animated Tea Party

Alice, the Mad Hatter and the March Hare invite you to film your own stop motion animation at their wondrous tea party. You will make teacups appear to dance, bizarre teapots pour in unusual ways, or make scrumptious sandwiches and cakes as if by magic! You'll be able to see your animation played back - and view a marvellous film of the whole thing after the event.  Run by artist, teacher and animator, Emma Dougherty of StopMoGo! Want a taster? See this video clip from a previous event held outside the Radcliffe Camera.
