Spend a week diving into the beautiful and historic platinum palladium photographic process with artist / educator David Hyams, master printer and founding partner of Luminaria (a historic process studio in Salt Lake City).

In this workshop you will learn how to make beautiful, handmade, black and white prints using the noble metals platinum and palladium. The platinum palladium process dates from the 1880’s and is renowned for its delicate and graceful tone, its ultimate image stability, and the ability to create prints of unrivaled permanence. We will create prints from digital negatives utilizing both neutral and warm-tone chemical workflows, and discuss printing techniques that will streamline your workflow and save you precious materials and money. This workshop is a great introduction to the noble processes for first time artists, but will also have lots of information for more experienced printmakers. We will touch on a wide range of topics from digital capture and file preparation, digital negatives and paper selection, chemical controls and aesthetic considerations, to making sure that every print is a treasured work of art!
