Bob Carnie/ Gum Bichromate
December 27-30 2017
1840 Danforth Avenue, Toronto
This workshop is aimed at those people who have a desire to learn in a welcoming atmosphere how to make wonderful permanent prints and have:
-Taken a workshop with us before
-Can show that they exhibit the right knowledge base to not slow down the other printers.
The goal of this workshop will be to make a series of 15×20 prints on paper that are multiple layered images, Gum over Palladium, Duotone Gum, or Tri Tone Gum Bichromate. Your choice of process and look rather than teacher directed.
We will stay with this image size to maximize workflow for the course of four days. This size is a traditional aspect ratio for portfolio prints.
The hours of this workshop are from 8 am – 5 :30pm each day with group dinners considered after each long day.
