Palladium and Gum Printing with Digital Negatives

For four days Kerik Kouklis instructs participants in the Palladium and Gum Bichromate printing processes and how to make digital negatives from your images using QCDN software. By the conclusion of the workshop, you’ll have created beautiful palladium/gum prints from your photos, and leave with the tools to continue to produce fine art prints using this alternative printing method.
 
Kerik combines teaching palladium and gum printing with how to make digital negatives. Digital negatives allow contact printing your images to create handmade prints using this alternative printing process on art papers. Kerik dedicates a full day to instruct and demystify the process of making digital negatives.This workshop is an enjoyable, hands-on experience, filled with valuable information. No prior experience is necessary, however, students should have familiarity with Adobe Photoshop and image editing skills to gain maximum benefit from this workshop. Assistants will be present throughout the workshop to aid with any Photoshop inquiries, ensuring you fully benefit from the session.
 
Four Day Workshop
Wednesday – Saturday, June 5 – 8, 10am – 5pm

Picturing Resistance & With These Hands Opening Reception

Thank you to everyone who joined us this past Saturday for our opening reception for this year’s Picturing Resistance exhibition, as well as juror Ken Light‘s With These Hands exhibition in Gallery 4! Picturing Resistance captures the essence of decades of protests and demonstrations, showcasing how the collective voice of the people has the power to incite powerful political changes.

Emerging in a climate where the exploitation of American farmworkers, notably children, has made headlines in recent months, With These Hands arrives as a poignant reminder. Ken’s evocative photographs, taken in the 1970s, serve as an undeniable testament that the pervasive issue of child labor exploitation has plagued the nation for decades.

Both exhibitions are open to view in Gallery 4 at HD South in Gilbert’s Heritage District until September 30th, so there is still plenty of time to take a look before we transition to our next exhibition. In the meantime, have a look at a few moments from the opening reception!

Art Intersection is hosting a three-session Street Photography Workshop with Neil Miller this September, which will provide an excellent foundation for those inspired by Picturing Resistance and With These Hands to make protest and documentary photographs of their own!

PhotoTapas — Celebrating Photography in Ryan Gallery

We were happy to be hosting another PhotoTapas event in Ryan Gallery this weekend, featuring a series of guest speakers in Ryan Gallery.

After some coffee and donuts bright and early Saturday morning, the day began with a lecture from Scott Baxter about his The Gather exhibition at Scottsdale Museum of the West, and the relationships he has formed with the ranchers featured in the show.

Kerrick James spoke with us about monochrome infrared photography using digital camera bodies that have been modified

Alan Fitzgerald gave a crash-course on how to prepare your digital images to make contact prints in the darkroom, and students were able to see examples of prints made using digital negative transparencies!

Gina Santi spoke about the cultural contexts and traditions to consider when traveling the world and photographing the people you meet!

Brent Bond shared examples of photographic books and portfolios using letterpress-printed colophons and covers.

Geoff Reed shared his journey self-publishing his photography.

We ended the day in the lab with Spanish tapas-inspired food and a wine tasting with Garage East’s Brian Ruffentine, where he spoke about the varietals of Arizona wines produced in our own backyard!
