A
event
held at Bristol Folk House
on Sunday 12th November. The event starts at 10:00.
Salt printing is the earliest photographic process on paper, using negatives.
In this workshop you will mix the photo sensitive chemicals, coat the paper, then expose and develop the prints. Salt prints give a warm brown colour. In the mid 1830s William Henry Fox Talbot made the first viable photographic print on paper using his salt printing process.
In this workshop you will try it out to produce warm brown prints using negatives or found objects. You will have the opportunity to mix the light sensitive chemicals, coat the paper, expose and develop it to give a lasting result on high quality art paper.
