Alt Process Crash Course
Many schools have surrendered their black and white darkroom to make way for computer labs but they're now facing a large number of students who are demanding hands-on photo courses: many are turning to historic photographic processes to fill the void. Please join us for this week long crash course that's aimed at educators who are looking for the skills and knowledge to teach a semester long course in historic process. Together and intensively we'll work through the new, 14 lesson F295 Historic Process Workbook. You'll also receive the F295 Historic Process Syllabus AND a set of the lab ready, laminated F295 Historic Process Quick Reference Cards. You'll learn the fundamentals of the 4 foundational processes: cyanotype, gum, salt, and van dyke brown and we'll talk about history, technique, and troubleshooting too! You'll leave with all of the tools you need to confidently teach a semester long historic process course or practice them on your own!

Tuition: 795.00

He organizes the F295 symposium and seminar series to promote the exploration 21st Century Photography. These events offer a unique chance to investigate the ideas of light, time, and the apparatus through the voices of practicing photographers. The symposium also offers exhibitions and workshops by masters in their field.
