Deepen your understanding of traditional photographic processes while refining darkroom techniques. Explore toning, medium and large format photography, and alternative processes such as cyanotype and palladium printing. Emphasis is placed on developing a cohesive body of work through regular critiques and group discussions, fostering both technical growth and conceptual clarity.
Most classes will be divided between demonstration, discussion and critique and lab time.
The class also includes an optional Friday evening open darkroom practice session where students can work on and refine the techniques discussed in class.
Students will be able to print and mount an 8×10 or 11×14 print on archival museum mat board
Tuition for this class includes a fee of $40 for basic materials provided by CAW.
