Ziatype Workshop at Digital Silver Imaging

I will be returning to Digital Silver Imaging on Saturday May 13th for another Ziatype palladium printing workshop. This process is easy to grasp and extremely variable, with tweaks to the chemistry used in the sensitizer yielding spectacular shifts in color and tone. If you have ever had an interest in learning platinum or palladium printing, this workshop is a great way to get your feet wet. This will be open to newbies and to those who have taken my previous workshop and would like to build on that experience. Spots are filling up---check Digital Silver's website for sign up and DM me if you have questions!

Next up---cyanotyping at Longwood Gardens!

It's been a really busy summer teaching and running workshops, and all my students, youths and adults, have turned out some amazing work! Next on the agenda is the workshop in cyanotype process at Longwood Gardens outside Philadelphia in Kennett Square, PA. We will be using materials from the famous water gardens to make images in the historic cyanotype printing method. This one promises to be really fun!

Ziatype Workshop at Digital SIlver!

Digital Silver in Belmont, MA has invited me to give a workshop in the Ziatype printing process on Saturday August 6th. The workshop will run all day with a break for lunch and we will be printing on the new Hahnemuhle platinum rag paper with promotional support from Hahnemuhle! Participants will learn to create digital negatives and will go home with prints made using this versatile palladium based process. Fun and experimental---this will be an enjoyable day!

Summer Youth Program at Lesley

I am pleased to be teaching several courses again this summer in the Youth Program at Lesley, a pre-college experience for high school students. These kids are doing some amazing work so far, including printing using only chlorophyll as seen in our set up here. From exploring Boston with their phone cameras to blending sculpture and photography to alternative process, they are handling everything I am throwing at them!

June 20, 2015 Longwood Gardens

     This week I worked with Longwood Gardens to develop a workshop for their continuing education program that combines photography with horticultural focus. Next August I will present a full day of exploring light sensitive processes that utilize plant materials from the gardens! There will be a presentation on the history of employing plants to create photographs such as anthotypes and chlorophyll printing, followed by a hands on class. Mark your calendars, August 2016 will be here before you know it :)
