Carbon Printing with QTR Digital Negatives With Sandy King July 24-29th, 2016

Carbon Printing with QTR Digital Negatives With Sandy King July 24-29th, 2016
Carbon is one of the oldest of all photographic processes, having been introduced more or less in its present form in 1864 by the Englishman Joseph W. Swan. It is a contact printing process that gives a final image that consists of a pigment suspended in hardened gelatin. Carbon is without question one of the premier photographic processes in history as regards image quality. Prints made with the carbon process have a unique image quality characterized by surface relief and can be made in a wide range of colors and tones, the choice limited only by the availability of suitable tissue. Carbon prints are also highly permanent, as stable if not more so than platinum prints.
The carbon transfer workshop at the Photographers Formulary will provide detailed hands-on instruction that will teach students every step of this fascinating but complicated process. All of the various steps in making a carbon print will be explored in depth, including sensitizing carbon tissue to make it sensitive to UV light, preparation of final support papers, mating the sensitized and exposed tissue with a final support, and development of the carbon print in warm water. The students will also learn how to make carbon tissue, and to size and harden art papers as supports for the final carbon image.
The workshop will explore in detail the Sensitometry of carbon printing with both analog film negatives and with digital negatives. Specific instruction will be provided on exposing and developing negatives for printing with carbon, and in making digital negatives.
The carbon transfer workshop will be taught by Sandy King, a fine art photographer from South Carolina who is one of the most experienced carbon printers in the world. He has published numerous articles on carbon printing in both print and on-lines sources, including Photovision, Silvershotz and View Camera and has conducted numerous workshops on carbon printing in the USA and abroad.

The Gum-Platinum Print with QTR - Kerik Kouklis June 26th-July 1st, 2016

The Gum-Platinum Print with QTR - Kerik Kouklis June 26th-July 1st, 2016
During this intensive 5-day workshop you will begin by learning to make high quality digital negatives using the Quad Tone RIP (QTR) program and Epson printers. You will learn how to calibrate and control this powerful tool in an easy and straightforward way. We will then cover in detail the making of fine platinum/palladium prints from the negatives you make during the workshop or from pre-existing large format or digital negatives. The platinum/palladium process is quite easy to learn and Kerik's casual and friendly teaching style will have you making excellent prints almost from the start. Then you will learn to use gum bichromate overprinting to stretch the medium into a new realm. Adding one or more layers of gum bichromate over a platinum print will result in a final print with added depth and richness and endless possibilities of color to enhance the emotional impact of the image. Once mastered, many printers find it difficult to go back to the straight platinum process for their work. While previous experience in any of the alternative processes is helpful, it isn't a prerequisite to attend this workshop. Each student should provide negatives no larger than 8x10 as well as high quality scans or digital camera files that will be made into digital negatives. You can also scan negatives during the workshop, but this uses up valuable time. Be prepared to take your work in a new direction and never look back. This process is lots of fun and soon becomes addictive.

Bring your previous printing skills, but be willing to try new approaches as well.


Bringing your own laptop is preferred.

Amazing Tri-Color Gum With Chris Anderson August 14th-19th, 2016

Amazing Tri-Color Gum With Chris Anderson August 14th-19th, 2016
Gum prints are essentially photographically controlled watercolor prints made in a 19th Century process called gum bichromate. Gum Arabic is mixed with watercolor paint and photosensitive ammonium dichromate, and painted onto paper. When exposed to light in contact with an enlarged negative, the gum Arabic hardens into an image that is “developed” in plain water. Casein, a colloid like gum, is practiced in much the same way so two processes can be learned for the “price of one!”
The workshop will center on simple digital negatives, so a laptop with Photoshop, Photoshop Elements, or Lightroom plus rudimentary knowledge of one of these programs (for example, sizing, sharpening, cropping images, even maybe knowing how to add a curve) is important. So is bringing lots of color digital images to choose from. Aside from a few simple supplies from home (teaspoons, hair dryer, towel, apron, and the like) the rest of the supplies will be covered under a class fee, including multiple pigment colors with which to experiment.
Participants tend to work from 9 AM–9 PM, with some early birds and night owls working longer. By the time the workshop ends, all should be comfortable with these processes to hit the ground running when returning home.
