Working in the photographic darkroom, over the course of several weeks, students will explore camera-less techniques such as:

• Photograms - creating images by placing objects directly onto light-sensitive paper.
• Chemigrams - blending painting and photography with chemicals to produce abstract results.
• Cyanotype - using UV light to create beautiful, blue-toned prints.

As well as many others! Students will also learn to create digital negatives from their own images to make tangible prints.

No prior experience is needed - just a curiosity for creative image-making and a willingness to experiment. Whether you're an artist, photographer, or complete beginner, this course offers a unique opportunity to play with process and discover the roots of photography in a supportive, studio-based environment.
