Join artist and photographer Gabrielle Hall-Lomax for a hands-on exploration of chemigrams, a fun and fascinating alternative photographic process!
Chemigrams are a form of camera-less photography where one can paint with various products (such as oil, varnishes, honey, etc.) on the surface of photographic paper and expose them to light to create unique images. The products applied create chemical reactions and distort light, producing individualistic happenings and chance occurrences.
Over four weeknight sessions, you’ll explore different techniques for creating chemigrams, including experimenting with clay, tape, wax, and various chemical reactions. By engaging with different resist methods and developing techniques, you’ll discover how surface manipulation influences the final image.
