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.

Advanced Digital Printing Workshop with Richard Jackson

This past weekend, we had the pleasure of hosting our Advanced Digital Printing workshop, led by Richard Jackson. In this intensive class, students delved into the art of dissecting their images, honing their skills in Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom to produce striking prints that are exhibition-ready and perfect for showcasing and enjoying in the comfort of their own homes.

Take a behind-the-scenes look at the workshop, and get a glimpse of the class as they refined their images in Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom, working towards producing remarkable prints and bringing their visions to life.

Street Photography Workshop with Neil A. Miller

In the last month, we’ve hosted three engaging sessions of our “Capturing the Unexpected” street photography workshop, guided by the talented Neil A. Miller. Students courageously ventured beyond their comfort zones to capture life’s unscripted moments. Between sessions, they honed their observational skills in public spaces and meticulously curated their images to present a select few to Neil and their fellow photographers during the final session.

Get an exclusive behind-the-scenes glimpse!

Exploring Photography for Teens — June 2023

After a couple years it was wonderful to host our Exploring Photography teen summer camp again!

Over four afternoons this week, instructor Lisa Zirbel taught our students the fundamentals of photography across both digital and traditional film mediums. Students learned how to shoot 35mm black and white film with manual SLR cameras and make enlargements from their film in our photo lab. They also had the opportunity to make studio-lit portraits, which they processed using Adobe Photoshop to make inkjet prints of their photos. They even mixed film and digital photography both by making cyanotypes using negatives printed digitally from their own images, as well as by using botanicals and expired photo paper to make lumen prints in the sun during class.

To end all of our teen camps, on the final day we pin the students’ work on the wall and invite their families for a critique session to reflect on what they learned and the challenges they faced while creating their art.

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!

Ryuijie Teaches Platinum/Palladium Printing

This past Saturday, October 31 we were honored to have California artist Ryuijie teach the art of platinum/palladium printing to 11 members of the Art Intersection community. This 19th century process has long been revered for its tonal depth and archival qualities. Ryuijie demonstrated two different printing styles – the ABC and Na2 methods, both of which he uses in his artistic practice. Participants mixed their chemistry, hand-coated fine art paper, let it dry, and exposed their paper using a digital negative and UV light. It was inspiring to see the workshop participants quickly pick up a new technique which might have a lasting place in their artistic skill set! With a little experimenting and practice, the students used this luminous process to make some beautiful work.
