The Gumoil process uses a positive transparency instead of a negative to create a unique, handmade image. Gum arabic and potassium dichromate are brushed onto paper and exposed, hardening the gum arabic. The paper is washed, leaving a light negative image. Oil paint is rubbed into the surface of the paper and rubbed away to create a positive image, and then prints are placed into a bleach bath to etch away gum arabic and allow for additional tonal separation and the addition of color. The final image is a textured, unique image that can be monochromatic or duotone. Bring many images to work with, digital or analogue, the more the better. The workshop will cover everything from your enlarged positive transparencies to the finished print, and you will finish both monochrome and duotone prints as well as experiment with different sizes.

June 21 – 26, 2015 Rediscovering Ether Dreams Wet Plate Collodion with Gustavo Castilla The Wet Collodion Process was invented in the mid-1850’s by Frederick Scott Archer. In this workshop participants will explore one of the earliest photographic processes. A continuous tone image making and printing, You’ll learn how to make "a light sensitive emulsion" that can be used to create a "positive" or a negative. As part of the workshop we’ll study the mixing of chemistry, exposure, tools required, printing basics and some experimental uses of the wet collodion process. Join us for this fun and adventurous workshop and get in touch with what pioneers of photography had to contend with in order to make their photographs. The workshop will go quickly as you learn to prepare chemistry, and to expose and develop plates. Before the workshop is over we’ll be making images together! Tuition: $795.00 Biography: I work using traditional tools and methods dating from the mid-1800's to modern digital imaging. Wet plate collodion and film produce both negatives and positives that I use for a number of historic and/or alternative printing processes. My cameras are large format that range from 2X3 to 10X20; circa mid-1800 to modern, some I made my self. Because of the “hand made” nature of my printmaking, no two prints are identical. I began creating photographs in Mexico City when I was ten years old and have had a passion for photography ever since. As a small boy I was intrigued by the photographic process and by my late teens I was honing my craft, attending workshops and working at a small advertising agency. My work was first published while I was working at a Mexico City newspaper, where I also wrote a column about music. After relocating to Los Angeles, I studied cinematography at Columbia College in Hollywood, and ventured into the arena of celebrity photography. My images have been published in various magazines such as Time, ¡Hola!, and Figaro. I continued my photography studies and earned a certificate in Graphic Design with a specialization in Digital Imaging. After earning my certificate, I produced a wide range of work in the areas of portraiture, editorial, social, and event photography, developing a particular interest in both still life and environmental portraiture. I am currently living and pursuing my photographic work in Santa Fe, NM. My work has gained recognition at: 2009 The International Photography Awards (IPA) Honorable Mention 2008 The Pilsner Urquell International Photography Awards (IPA) Honorable Mentions in the categories of Fine Art Nude and Fine Art Portraiture. 2007 The International Photography Awards (IPA) Honorable Mentions June 28 – July 3, 2015 The Gum-Platinum Print and Making Digital Negatives with QTR With Kerik Kouklis During this intensive 5-day workshop you will begin by learning to make high quality digital negatives using the Quad Tone RIP (QTR) program and Epson printers. You will learn how to calibrate and control this powerful tool in an easy and straightforward way. We will then cover in detail the making of fine platinum/palladium prints from the negatives you make during the workshop or from pre- existing large format or digital negatives. The platinum/palladium process is quite easy to learn and Kerik's casual and friendly teaching style will have you making excellent prints almost from the start. Then you will learn to use gum bichromate overprinting to stretch the medium into a new realm. Adding one or more layers of gum bichromate over a platinum print will result in a final print with added depth and richness and endless possibilities of color to enhance the emotional impact of the image. Once mastered, many printers find it difficult to go back to the straight platinum process for their work. While previous experience in any of the alternative processes is helpful, it isn't a prerequisite to attend this workshop. Each student should provide negatives no larger than 8x10 as well as high quality scans or digital camera files that will be made into digital negatives. You can also scan negatives during the workshop, but this uses up valuable time. Be prepared to take your work in a new direction and never look back. This process is lots of fun and soon becomes addictive. Bring your previous printing skills, but be willing to try new approaches as well. Tuition: $895.00 Biography: Kerik Kouklis is a fine art photographer drawn to the landscape. Born and raised in California with a background in music and geology, Kerik combines a contemporary eye with 19th century processes to produce work that is uniquely his own. Using digital cameras, roll film cameras and very large view cameras, he often explores obscure, little- known places where he makes images that can be at once calm and unsettling. Kerik has become highly skilled and respected practitioner of the platinum/palladium process and the combined gum-platinum process. For the past 5 years he has also incorporated the wet plate collodion process in his work. Kerik has been teaching workshops in these processes since 1997, both in his home studio and at various locations around the US, Canada and the UK. His work is currently represented by galleries and by art dealers in California, Connecticut and New York.

Originally, the motive was to add realism to black and white photographs. As color film was developed, handcoloring nearly disappeared. But today, instead of disappearing, handcoloring has become a new art form of its own. No longer is its purpose purely to show the world as it is, but a creative tool to transform images into one of a kind pieces of art. Handcoloring, or hand tinting, is a wonderful way to express your creativity. During this workshop you will be creating original works of art from your own black and white photographs. Starting with either a black and white darkroom photograph or a black and white digital print, you will learn how to apply color using photo oils, pastels and pencils. You will learn about the various mediums available for creating darkroom prints usable for hand tinting as well as making suitable digital prints.
