CRN# 10126
Sessions: 12; Hours: 36
The Vandyke and Kallitype processes date back to 1889 and are based on the iron-silver process. As with other historic processes, an enlarged or digital negative is placed emulsion-side down on a sheet of hand-coated artist’s paper and exposed under a high UV light source. When exposure is complete, the sensitized paper is developed out and fixed. The final print has a beautiful brown tone. The class will learn how to make digital negatives for this workshop scanned from black and white negatives or digital files. Please email David at dlewis@onlink.net after you have registered for the course and you will receive a personal information letter with instructions for creating the digital negative. Material fee: $50.00 (payable to the instructor).
