Brian Taylor: Gum Bichromate Workshop

SEE EVENT DETAILS
at The Image Flow (see times)
This is a class for artists and photographers of all levels who wish to gain a broader understanding of photography’s history and potential by exploring a beautiful color photographic process in a fun and experimental way. The photo techniques presented in this class allow us to print photographs on alternative surfaces like watercolor papers and even fabric, which can then be used for handmade books, collage, painting and drawing.

During this three day intensive workshop, we’ll push the boundaries and explore photography in an open, creative, and intuitive way. We’ll explore the beautiful color photographic process of Gum Bichromate printing which allows avenues of expression beyond traditional and digital photography. Gum printing is a serendipitous photo process, yet one which rewards the patient artist with beautiful full color handmade images on various surfaces; it is one of the few alternative processes that allows the photographer to choose the multiple colors of the final image.
