Non-silver processes will be emphasized including blue print, photocopy transfer, Polaroid emulsion lifts, as well as hand painting and acrylic transfers.

Text methods will be demonstrated - hand printing with inks, rubbings, rubber stamp, collage, old-fashioned typewriter as well as computer generated text. Examples will be shown. Surface treatments will be introduced such as coating with wax and hand painting with encaustic (pigment in hot wax). The workshop will emphasize the photographic image, but is not limited to this and will include other modes of expression - drawing, poetry, collage and illustrations.

You will learn skills that you can continue using in your home or studio. This workshop is for all levels.

CYANOTYPE & BROWN PRINT WORKSHOP
Lake Helen, Florida
May 18 - 20, 2012
Costs: $365. includes the $50. material fee.
To make a payment or reservation by Check or by or by Credit Card


Cyanotypes and Vandyke printing are simple, experimental and two of the oldest photographic methods available. Learn these antique photographic processes using paint-on emulsions in royal blue and earthy brown.
Smooth surface papers and cloth (cotton, muslin or silk) are coated, dried and exposed in the sun or UV light and then developed in water.

You can continue with this process at home without expensive equipment, and it can be combined with drawing, painting and collage.

Bring large black and white negatives (digital or photocopies on acetate are fine) pressed botanicals or other flat objects (feathers, lace, transparent materials, x-rays or old negatives). Anna will show how to print on laser transparency film to make a large black and white negative.

In this workshop you will create photo transfers using photo laser copies, inkjet prints, with wintergreen oil, lacquer thinner, Chartpak Blenders and organic solvents, and with Polaroid and Fuji film. You will learn basics of encaustic including an introduction to materials and techniques.

We will concentrate on the various methods of integrating photographs into the surface of various art papers, cloth, wood support, canvas, glass, Plexiglas and maybe metals. The result can look as if it was printed or painted on, or as if it has been there forever.

Several methods of transferring text will also be demonstrated - rubbings, rubber stamp, old-fashioned typewriter as well as computer generated text. Surface treatments will be introduced and demonstrated such as coating with wax and hand painting.

An image transfer is, to put it simply, the act of transferring an image from one source to another. Depending upon what material you are planning to transfer onto will depend on what type of transfer method you want to use.

With image transfers as opposed to just taking the image itself and gluing it down, is the transparent effects you can get from transfers-- allowing you to layer images or let the surface design show through, such as a patterned fabric or wood grain.

Some transfers create a lovely aged and distressed image due to the natural imperfection of the technique.

Capture the Undiscovered Gem that is Bologna
Course Decription: During this week in the capital of the Emilia-Romagna region of central Italy, participants will be encouraged to develop their skills through experiencing photography and photo transfer processes. You will explore, experiment and capture through photography, the atmosphere of this ancient city, and make photo transfers onto water color paper, wood and wax.

There will also be plenty of independent time to work and to explore. We will have a studio within the monastery where we are staying; the other studio is Bologna itself: cafes, arcades, architecture, and squares where we will work to capture the incredible light and color of Bologna.

Individual instruction is stressed as well as individual and group critiques. Throughout our stay we will organize optional visits to museums and current art exhibits, as well as have a guided tour of some of the famous artists of the area that are scattered around the city.
