I am now taking bookings for the following workshop:
INTERMEDIATE/ADVANCED DARKROOM PRINTING
If you have been practicing for a while in the darkroom and are enjoying making prints on Resin Coated paper but now seek to move up a level, this workshop is for you. Covering some of the more advanced printing techniques such as Split-Grade Printing and also introducing you to using Fibre Based paper which is widely regarded to produce superior results to Resin Coated. I will show you how the procedure of using Fibre Based paper differs from Resin Coated and what extra precautions are required to make archival prints. The workshop will cover the following:
– Various methods of proper fixing and washing of Fibre Based paper
– f-stop printing
– Split-Grade printing
– Paper Flashing
– Water-bath development
– Selenium toning for archival purposes
– Print presentation
Even if you never plan to use Fibre Based paper, the printing techniques used in this workshop will still benefit users of Resin Coated paper. You can use 35mm up to 4×5 inch negatives for this workshop.
