Alternative Processes (WS)

Mar 14 - Mar 20

Brenton Hamilton

Explore the artistic possibilities of non-silver antique and alternative processes.

Find a new, creative approach to photography during two weeks of photographic experimentation in Maine. This course is for advanced students with a solid grasp of darkroom techniques who are looking to explore the creative and artistic possibilities of working in non-silver, antique, and alternate processes.

Brenton Hamilton, a highly respected photographic printmaker, demonstrates a number of hand-applied emulsion processes while teaching students to use Kallitype and Palladium techniques in the same way fine art photographers have for decades.

Students explore the entire image-making process working with pinhole cameras, view cameras and 35mm cameras to create new images in the field, then learn to make enlarged negatives from fieldwork in order to make contact prints on Salted paper, Vandyke brown, Cyanotype, Printing Out paper, and Gum Bichromate. Students work extensively in the field and then return to the darkroom to produce new images. As students master these new processes and printing skills, a new portfolio of work develops.

Students should have a solid grasp of darkroom techniques. A short list of materials are provided to students prior to the workshop.

Winter/Spring lodging & meal package available $425.
