This is an old class! Enjoy the notes, and check out the current courses.
Historic photographic printing is extremely low-tech, which makes it a perfect winter hobby for apartment dwellers. No dark room required!
In this workshop, you'll learn the history of early photography. From Dageurreotypy to Albumen printing, you'll get the low-down on the science of 19th century photography processes, as well as a look at examples of each. Then, we'll talk-through how to make your own photosensitive paper using historic methods, including where to get chemicals, how to sensitize the paper, how to make negatives, and how to expose the image.
Lastly, we'll make our own photo paper in class using Cyanotypy, one of the earliest forms of photographic printing. The forerunner of the modern blueprint, it never gained commercial popularity because of it's royal blue hue. It's simple and safe to make, and will allow you to create beautiful imagery.
