Printing with the NA2 Palladium Platinum
Method
with Tillman Crane
Peters Valley Craft Center, Layton, NJ, USA
The art and craft of making palladium prints using a traditional
hand crafted method. The NA2 method differs from traditional platinum/palladium
process because it uses a form of sodium platinum as the contrast
agent rather than the traditional chlorate contrast method. The
first two days of this workshop will be devoted to making enlarged
negatives and the final two days we will make palladium prints with
these enlarged negatives. Intermediate to advanced.
Tuition: $360 Lab Fee: $100

Gum printing workshop
with Terry King at the Hands-On Pictures Studio in Richmond, Surrey,
UK.
At this special gum workshop we will make multi-colour gum prints
using both gum arabic and watercolours and Gloy and acrylics. We
will use film, paper and digital negatives. The overall idea is
to concentrate on using the process to make pictures rather than
using the process to show that we can make a gum print. There will
be special emphasis on the use of colour.
The workshops will be from 10-4 pm and cost £300. Website. |
