Class Description

Description

Lumen prints are made using gelatin silver paper, which is exposed to light and placed directly into the fixer. Ethereal pastel tones emerge in the process, determined by the time of exposure, the type of light, and the kind of paper used.

In this hands-on workshop, participants will learn to make cameraless lumen prints, experimenting with different techniques to better understand the factors that influence the colors of the gelatin silver paper.

Participants should bring materials for making photograms such as botanicals, cut-outs, objects or fabrics. This playful one-day workshop is open to all ages and levels of experience.

$50 materials fee included in tuition.
