Food Waste Developer Chemigrams
with Hannah Fletcher
In this workshop you will learn how to make your own photographic developer with food scraps from your compost bin. Using this home-made chemistry, we will explore the possibilities of the photographic surface and its materiality. Working with a variety of resists to produce a range of camera-less shapes, textures and images, on the surface of silver gelatine paper. This is a cameraless photographic technique that is great for bringing to life fogged, out of date or discarded silver gelatine photographic paper.
All live sessions are recorded and made available for a week following the course. This also includes times for any feedback questions.
