The kallitype process is an historic photographic process that gives a range of tones from warm blacks to sepia tone. The process is often used as a less expensive and more versatile alternative to platinum/palladium printing. This workshop will go over the basics of how to create images using the photogram technique as well as with photographic negatives. Both digital and analog photographs can be converted to digital negatives. We will go over a few different sensitizers and developers to get different tonal effects, as well as the process for developing and fixing the prints. This workshop is best for beginners with alternative process, but no experience is necessary. The workshop is open to participants 15 and older.
