Saturday & Sunday

May 3 & 4

10 AM - 6 PM

Class Size: 6 Max

Prerequisites: Familiarity with Photoshop is required, particularly an understanding of adjustment layers.

Platinum printing, also known as platinotype, is a highly stable photographic process capable of producing monochromatic images that can last for thousands of years. This technique is known for its exceptional tonal range and subtle, reflective quality, making it a favorite among artists. 

This weekend workshop introduces participants to the fundamentals of creating digital negatives and handcrafted platinum-palladium prints. By blending modern digital techniques with traditional analog printing methods, students will learn how to produce enlarged digital negatives from their digital files and transform them into stunning contact-printed platinum-palladium images on fine art paper. Participants will leave the workshop with exquisite prints and the foundational skills needed to continue printing independently. This course is open to all skill levels.

Tuition includes a $135 materials fee.
