A fun and experimental session introducing you to the creation of Photograms and darkroom practice
Photograms are a cameraless darkroom process where objects placed on photographic paper allowing you to create abstract photographic compositions through light and shadow.
Popularised in the 1920’s by Dada artist photographer Man Ray and the Constructivist El Lissitzky as a challenge to traditional photography this graphic process brings chance and mystery into printmaking.
Led by photographer and educator Mike Stone @_rodinal on Instagram
A great introduction to darkroom working, we’ll familiarise you with the darkroom, safe lighting & processing equipment. You’ll be instructed in chemical preparation and taken step by step through the photogram process.
