Alternative Printing Workshops

Our Photography Technician, Sarah Tierney, has led workshops in alternative printing processes this academic year and it has proven to be a huge success amongst the students. They have worked with cyanotypes, saltprints, lithprints, photograms and more.

Traditional printing techniques, salt printing, lith printing cyanotypes and photograms.

Fusing image making by using the chemistry processes of the early photographic practice and combing this with digital technology.

All prints are made from images scanned into the computer and adjusted in image editing software to make digital negative files.

Then digital negatives are contact printed in daylight/sunlight/uvlamps on various art papers coated with the chemistry for the different types desired.

Images are re-scanned to make a final digital image.

et voilà

timeless,

past present future
