Workshop rescheduled due to weather - Now on July 16th - We still have several spots open
Stroll the grounds of The Verdancy Project collecting botanical specimens to create your own beautiful and ghostly color prints. Each person attending this workshop will create a bundle of their own beautiful lumen prints – a cameraless photographic process – and be equipped with the skills and knowledge to continue creating lumen prints.
Each unique lumen print is one of a kind revealing an astonishing array of images from representational to absolute abstractions of color, shape, and form that celebrate the beauty and uniqueness of nature.
A lumen print is essentially a solar photogram – a camera-less process involving black and white photographic paper, a subject matter that usually (but not always) consists of organic material, and the most important element, the Sun or a UV source.
Ages 9 and up. All levels are welcome in this workshop.
