Introduction to Lumen Workshop - All Levels (6 Hours : July 19, 2025)
Saturday, July 19, 2025 : 10:30 AM to 4:30 PM
Instructor: Samantha Shelton
Lumen is an alternative photography process using the sun to expose black and white silver gelatin coated photo papers to create photograms. The papers are then exposed to the sun and later fixed, skipping the developer step. It is camera less, as no camera or lens is involved in creating the photograms. Students layer negatives and objects such as plants directly onto the papers, to create a contact print. The course will cover the various phases of the photogram, including both prefixed and fixed states. Examples will be provided showing various types of black and white photographic papers.
Students will set up and expose their lumens to the sun using black and white photo paper. They be shown how to fix their images at the end of the course
5 sheets of 8x10 black / white photo paper are included. Fix bath and plexi will be provided. Students should bring their own plants, negatives and other objects. Objects should be thin enough to press between a contract printing frame, such as yarn, wire, thread, etc.
price includes $25 lab fee
