Antique Photo Holiday Ornaments
Monday, November 28: 6:00–9:30pm and
Tuesday, November 29: 6:00–9:30pm
This workshop will show you how to make holiday ornaments by coating a light-sensitive liquid emulsion onto glass, then exposing this to an enlarged negative and processing it in standard black-and-white chemistry. The ornament can then be coated for protection and dressed up a bit with paint, glitter, or other decoration. Due to the variabilities of materials, the resulting ornament is a rustic, antique-like, one-of-a-kind keepsake to be cherished for years.
Participants will be given instructions on how to digitally prepare their image files and deliver them to us prior to the class. We will then make your negatives in advance which will allow for more time making ornaments on the day of the workshop. You may also opt to bring any black-and-white negative you would like to see as an ornament.
Prior darkroom experience is not necessary, though, by the end of the class, you will gain a general understanding of the processes involved in a black-and-white darkroom.
You will have the opportunity to make 4–6 finished ornaments.
