For each meeting participants upload the images they have been working on in their chosen technique. Some participants will focus on perfecting one technique, while others will try different techniques. Often participants inspire each other to try new techniques, or you might be working on similar techniques and use the class to share experiences. It is a forum where practitioners of different techniques meet to share their experiences under the guidance of our Alternative Process Master Jill Enfield.

 

There will be given short lectures presenting different topics within Alternative Processes. In this participants can come with requests, within the scope of Cyanotype, Albumen, Platinum, Palladium, Kallitype, toning, using different processes together, hand tinting, creating negatives for the different processes etc. The lectures are not ment as a complete courses, but as a short demo to give the group a better understanding of what is entailed in the process presented. It is also ment to inspire the participants to try out different directions, or expand on the process they are using.

 

For each class you should work on perfecting your chosen processes, and upload your best work to our dropbox, for feedback. Negatives that you want to show Jill, should be sent to her e-mail directly via Wee-transfer. You will be invited into a shared dropbox folder, where you can upload images for critic.
