Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this photography class:

Join artist Brittonie Fletcher for an afternoon in the darkroom making developers and prints. Brittonie will guide participants in exposing and developing black and white photo paper with DIY developers, which participants will make with simple household ingredients. Contact prints will be made with Lofi exposure setups with the option for experimental photograms, printing from digital negatives, or contact printing 35 mm film from the Developing Film with Caffenol Workshop. Caffenol will be explored as a gateway to making your film and paper developers from scratch to learn more about the science of photography and open up options for adopting a more environmentally friendly photographic practice.

Topics covered include visual demonstrations of different developers and how caffenol compares to commercial developers, building blocks of developers, how these chemical elements affect the print and add to your artistic intent including fine tuning for color palate and contrast, hypo substitution, and more.

This workshop is suited for absolute beginners and experienced film users alike. This workshop acts as a great follow up to Developing Film with Caffenol.

$40 materials fee included in tuition.
