If you've ever been interested in learning alternative printing processes, salted paper printing is a great jumping off point. It doesn't require a lot of fancy or expensive equipment or a dark room. Once you learn the basics with salted paper printing, you'll be ready to experiment with platinum, albumen, cyanotypes, etc. This hands-on class will start with learning how to create digital negatives, preparing the salted paper, learning how to make a contact print, and how to develop and fix your prints. We will experiment with toning and finishing prints. I will also teach my tricks for making contact printing frames easily and inexpensively. We will take a look at examples of other alternative printing processes and I will explain the history of these processes and how the techniques of salted paper printing can be applied to other processes.
