1pm-4pm
A chemigram is a cameraless, experimental photographic process developed by Pierre Cordier in the 1950s, combining elements of painting and darkroom chemistry. By applying resists such as wax or oil to light-sensitive paper, you can control how photographic chemicals interact with the surface, creating unpredictable and completely unique results.
In this hands-on workshop, you’ll explore a range of techniques using household materials as resists, working directly onto photographic paper in full light.
You’ll learn how to handle photographic chemistry safely while experimenting with developer, fixer, and water to create a variety of marks, tones, and textures.
There will be time to test different approaches on smaller or expired paper before creating your final pieces. Your work will then be fixed and washed to make it permanent.
You’ll leave the workshop with a selection of experimental test pieces and a finished chemigram print.
Please wear old clothes.
No prior knowledge or experience is necessary. All materials are provided. Tea, coffee, and biscuits included.
