It will focus on working with fibre-based (museum standard) printing and is designed to teach artists and hobbyists good practice when exposing, processing, washing and storing fine art photography prints. The central focus of the course is to consider how to calibrate the exposure and processing of photographic paper in order to achieve a desired outcome. The course will cover differences between standard photographic papers and how chemistry can change the way the print looks. It will detail museum standard print washing and how to dry and store prints for archival longevity. Participants should bring: 35mm or Medium Format (120) negatives to print.

This is a masterclass, so participants need to have a good understanding & experience in the process. Not suitable for beginners.
