Alternative Photo Processes: Cyanotype, Van Dyke Brown and Liquid Emulsion

Instructor BioTatana Kellner

In the age of digital technology, this workshop will focus on two historical photographic processes - Van Dyke Brown and Cyanotype and a more recent projection printing technique using silver based liquid emulsion. All three processes require hand application of the emulsion to a variety of surfaces from papers to cloth. Liquid photo emulsion can be applied to even wider range of materials such as ceramics, wood and metal. 

Students will learn how to prepare large scale negatives for contact printing, using either digital film or traditional silver based film, coating of the chosen substrate, exposing and processing. The class is designed so that both beginners and more experienced artists can enjoy and come away with the knowledge to create unique images.

July 14 - 18
$650 members ($680 non-members), $45 lab fee

Printing on Clay
Instructor Bio Jen Rose
In this workshop students will learn and master two different printing on clay techniques. The first technique will be silkscreening an image in slip and then transferring it to wet greenware. This allows the image to adhere onto the clay in the building process. These greenware pieces will be completed by the middle of the third day and then fired to bisque. The second phase of the workshop involves making decals that can be applied to a glazed surface. We will spend a day making decals from our screens and then applying them to prefabricated ceramic forms. By using commercially made plates, cups or tiles students can learn the process of applying the decal. When they get home they can continue to use prefabricated ceramic forms or apply the decal to forms that they have already made. On Thursday we will glaze our bisqued pieces and load a glaze kiln with both the prefabricated ceramics with decals and the pieces we just glazed. Friday we will continue to make decals using a laser printing process. These laser printed decals are easy for students to transport home. Friday afternoon we will unload the kiln.
