Gum Bichromate Workshop with Brian Taylor | September 10 - 12, 2021
The Weston Collective is happy to announce a weekend Gum Bichromate Workshop with gum printing extraordinaire, Brian Taylor! This hands-on workshop presents one of the most rare and beautiful 19th Century photographic techniques, the Gum Bichromate printing process. During this two day intensive workshop, we’ll push the boundaries of photography in an open, creative, and intuitive way. We’ll explore a historic color photo process which allows avenues of expression beyond traditional and digital photography. Gum printing is a serendipitous technique, yet one which rewards the patient artist with magical, colorful handmade images on various surfaces; it is one of the few alternative processes that allows the photographer to choose the multiple colors of the final image.
