Fine Gelatin Silver Printing March 17, 2012

This in-depth and fun weekend dedicated to the fine art of black-and-white printing is for committed photographers looking to take their printing techniques to the next level. Through discussions centered on your work, this two-day hands-on darkroom intensive is designed to strengthen your understanding of materials, process, and the medium.

With an enlarger for each participant, you will learn about different papers, film types and their characteristics, how paper and film can relate to different developers and developing technique, and how to make your prints archival. Through examination of the many combinations of equipment, paper, and developers, you will learn how to combine practical issues and innovative techniques to print any negative creatively, successfully, and with individual style. Kelton will also demonstrate split-filter printing, selective bleaching, and intensification.
