MAPh Salt printing | Artist workshop with Lingam.K (SOLD OUT)
About
Join artist Lingam. K to learn how to create a salt print photograph from a digital negative using the historical photographic process of salt printing.This workshop will introduce you to the basics of salt printing, creating a positive print from a negative using just three primary ingredients: salt, water, and silver nitrate. You'll learn how to hand coat art paper with light-sensitive chemicals, expose it with a negative to the sun (ultraviolet light), and process it to make a salt print. Salt prints have a unique matt appearance that resembles pastel drawings, and their tones range from warm reds to cold blacks.
Preparation: Participants will need to provide an image with a resolution of 360 dpi and good contrast for preparing a digital negative film before the workshop.
