Carbon Printing Workshop, Newport, Oregon, November 2009 Options

[vaughn]

I will be giving an introductory carbon printing workshop in Newport, Oregon on November 13,14 and 15, 2009. This will be a hands-on workshop.

A group of North West photographers has formed a workshop group, based at the Newport Visual Arts. The center is on Nye Beach and is a great facility. This is a beautiful area.

The workshop will begin at 4 pm on Friday, Nov 13th and I will give a demonstration of the entire carbon printing process. With this over-view, we will spend all day Saturday and Sunday making carbon prints using tissue I have made prior to the workshop. The goal is to send the participants home with the practical knowledge of the process so that they can start to make carbon prints at home...to give them a jump-start so that they can shape this flexible process to fit their own vision.

Registration for the workshop will begin August 15th. The cost will be $200 plus a $50 material/facility fee. The workshop will be limited to 6 participants.

I will provide more info on August 15th. I will be away from computers from 6/27 to 8/15, but if you have immediate questions, contact me before 6/27.

Still spots available for the Newport Workshop...

I have four people signed up for the workshop. I am making the last of the carbon tissue for the workshop tonight. I am really looking forward to giving this workshop and working with the four participants! I had originally limited the workshop to 6 people, as this is the first time I will be giving a workshop in this particular facility. But having four people will make it much more fun, and relaxing, for me.

If I can remember to bring ny wife's digital camera I will take a couple of photos of the workshop and share them!

Thoroughly enjoyable and helpful learning experience. The "hands on" method was very helpful and I came away from the workshop ready to work "without a net."

Thanks for your effort, Vaughn.

Thanks, Harry! It was a great experience -- again, I have scammed people into paying me money so that I could learn from them !

Harry was using paper negatives, printed on Picto-whatever-it-is-called. Turns out it is a bit opaque to UV light. When a two-hour exposure did not yield much of an image, Harry came up with the idea of just letting the tissue cook over-night in the "pizza oven". So 14+ hours later, we mated and developed the print with no problems and got a pretty dang good image. That beats my record of a 10 hour exposure!

The participants were a great group of people, easy to teach. Plus I had a very able assistant (Denise of "The Light Farm" fame -- maker of hand made dry plates and photo paper). And the facilities at the Newport Visual Art Center, besides have a beach view to kill for, turned out to be great for the workshop.

I might have a few more people hooked on carbon printing!

Harry would have been better off with paper negs -- I thought everyone knew that Pictorico hi-gloss white film blocks UV. OK for gelatin silver printing, practically useless for UV processes.

Well, there are now two more people that know! Harry and me!
