LUMEN PRINT WORKSHOP WITH GUEST ARTIST Rachelle Bussières
SATURDAY, AUGUST 17, 2024
11am-5pm Equivalentbehaviour, N15 4QL
Cost - £150
In this hands-on workshop, participants will experiment with various lumen printing techniques utilising the studio space, a dark space and outdoors. Participants will learn to create cameraless lumen prints using onsite plants, other objects, and botanicals brought by participants.
Lumen prints are produced using gelatin silver paper, which is exposed to light and then placed directly into the fixer. Drawing from the lumen print process of invited guest artist Rachelle Bussières, participants will grasp methods for achieving colors on gelatin silver paper. Ethereal pastel tones will emerge through experimentation with exposure time, types of light (natural and artificial), and the paper used.
Students will explore different techniques to gain insight into the factors influencing the colors of gelatin silver paper and to develop a small body of work.
This playful one-day workshop is open to all ages and families!
PLEASE NOTE, that we have limited places available
*A presentation of Rachelle’s practice will kick off the session togain insight into the potentials of practicing lumen printing.
*A home cooked lunch will be provided by Equivalentbehaviour

ARCHIVE
HAND RETOUCHING WORKSHOP WITH KEVIN O’NEILL
In our first week with Kevin, we focus on working with black and white hand prints (fibre and resin coated).
Starting with black and white, the introduction of brush control and imitating grain are more graspable due to
the concentration of tone and density. The second week is where we expand the palette and begin to work with colour!
Hand spotting, hand colouring, blemish reduction and airbrushing are all techniques focused on in this workshop,
along with an introduction to Kevin's process, and experience in the Retouching industry.
The Workshop costs £150, and includes tools, materials, and a home cooked lunch.
All classes run from 11am - 5pm
Please keep in mind that Workshops happen when there is demand.
Get in touch if you would like to know when our next one’s are planned.
