January 10th & 11th - Pinhole Photography workshop $100 Pinhole Photography Workshop Instructors: Scott Lapham & Stephanie Ewens

This low tech, lens-less, primitive approach to photography embraces the elements of chance and imperfection to make always interesting photographs. We will first make our own pinhole cameras from card board, tape and an aluminum can. Students are encouraged to bring in containers to be made into cameras or supplies will be available from which cameras can be made. We will then create paper negatives to be printed into pin hole photographs in our darkroom. Our downtown Providence location provides a fantastic environments for making pin hole photos inside or outside.

Stephanie is a documentary photographer who began her photographic career in California studying at San Francisco State University after receiving a B.A. in Economics from Santa Clara University.

INTRO TO PHOTO

The basics of 35mm photography were covered in this first level traditional photography course. Beginning with a comprehensive examination and understanding of the camera and light meter, students learned to develop film, make contact prints, and to enlarge prints using variable contrast filters to improve print quality. The course included slide presentations of both historic and contemporary photographers, critiques and class discussions to help students to improve their ability to talk about photographs, define their own interests in photography, and to improve composition.

PREVIOUSLY TAUGHT BY: Gail Porter

PINHOLE PHOTOGRAPHY

Pinhole photography is the capture of an image using a tiny pin sized hole in a thin sheet of metal allowing a ray of light to enter a container projecting the image onto light sensitive material creating the negative. This primitive process is the origin of modern-day photography, rooted in the camera obscura or "darkened room" novelty of the 15th century. This fun and exciting "low-tech" approach frees us from our need to control outcome, loosen our imaginations and explore new avenues of seeing.

This always-popular two-day workshop taught students how to construct pinhole cameras, create paper negatives and print these in our darkrooms. Students left this workshop with the knowledge of how to create new cameras from ordinary household containers!

PREVIOUSLY TAUGHT BY: Scott Lapham & Stephanie Ewens David Ellis

Alternative Photo Workshop: Printing with Cyanotype and Van Dyke Brown Emulsions

Working with 19th century emulsions, students will be introduced to a number of non-camera generated imaging techniques, learn how to make photographic emulsions and coat their own paper. This hands-on approach enables the students to coat alternative surfaces and break from the constraints of manufactured photo products. Fun, yet challenging, this workshop is an alternative to traditional B&W, color and digital materials.

Morning session:

Introduction to the 19th century processes. Show work and slides. Discuss and demonstrate non-camera imaging methods: pinhole negs, cliche-verre, photograms, digital negatives. Cyanotype demonstration

Afternoon Session

Cyanotype Lab. Includes selective coating, toning cyanotypes and the use of alternative surfaces. Van Dyke Brown demonstration and lab. Workshop will include chemistry and a variety of alternative coating surfaces will be available.

If you have working experience printing black & white and want to hone you skills further, this course is for you. We will cover in depth the following; setting up a darkroom, mixing and tweaking chemistry, contrast control, dodging, burning, flashing, washing, toning, spotting, print finishing, breaking down a darkroom and exhibiting your work.

Black and white printing is an interesting mix of the scientific and creative. It's also a lot of fun and very satisfying. If you're interested in consistent results, it's necessary for you to ground your printing skills in the scientific first. This is the best way to obtain repeatable results. Then the creative comes.

Our small class size affords us much one-to-one time so we can go into great detail to help you get what you want from your prints. Chemistry is provided. Please bring paper. Also, please bring two photographs you printed and the corresponding negatives to our first class.

Join Pinhole Photography instructor David Ellis in a two-day workshop as you learn to construct pinhole cameras made from ordinary containers, take photographs using photographic paper to create paper negatives and use the darkroom to make prints.

Pinhole photography is the capture of an image using a tiny pin sized hole in a thin sheet of metal allowing a ray of light to enter a container projecting the image onto light sensitive material creating the negative. This primitive process is the origin of modern-day photography, rooted in the camera obscura or "darkened room" novelty of the 15th century.

Today, there is a growing interest in pinhole photography, which focuses more on the essence of, and less on the fact of a moment. This fun and exciting "low-tech" approach allows us to accept chance while freeing us from our need to control outcome. It is an excellent opportunity for any artist as well as beginner or seasoned photographers to loosen up their imaginations and explore new avenues of seeing.

During this two day workshop, we construct cameras made from ordinary containers, take photographs using photographic paper to create paper negatives and use the darkroom to make prints. On the first day, we construct our cameras, take photographs, explore exposure times, learn darkroom processing and create negatives. On day two we use the darkroom to create positive prints. Prior photographic experience is helpful but not necessary. Open to artists from all mediums. Throughout, emphasis is placed on experimentation and process with individual coaching and a final group critique.

Two days- Sat. & Sun., April 29th & 30th, 9:30am-4:30pm each day.

Price: $100 plus a $35 Lab Fee (includes photographic paper), made payable to the instructor, David Ellis.

MATERIALS LIST:
The following is a list of materials we will be using to construct cameras and take photographs in this workshop. They can be found at most craft supply and hardware stores. Michael's Craft Stores usually have the glass head pins in their sewing section and Wal-Mart also carries sewing and hardware supplies.

Photographic paper will be supplied, but I have listed it here for your future reference. Ilford Multigrade RC (resin coated) Satin paper works best as it is the only paper without its name watermarked on the back, making it ideal for paper negatives and contact printing from them and the Satin surface makes it less reflective and more suitable for making paper negatives. Fibered papers require more rinsing and drying time and the Ilford dries quickly and flat.

-Bring a small selection of containers that can be easily made to be "light tight": cookie or candy tins, old flour or sugar canisters, any old tins from junk shops with tight lids, shoe boxes, old style oatmeal boxes with the cardboard lids (the newer ones won't work as well), small hat boxes, any size or shape container that can be made leak-proof to light. Metal containers tend to work better as plastic ones or plastic lids are still translucent. Be imaginative and open to experimentation!

-Scissors, Exacto knife, metal ruler, fine point Sharpie pen, roll of white artist's tape or masking tape, small notebook or sketch book.

-Small aluminum pie pan (EZ-Foil 9" pie pans are best and usually come in a 3 pack at the supermarket. The larger pans are sometimes heavier gauge and I find that the thinner gauge is better.)

-Small package of glass head pins (size/No. 22 about 1- 3/8" long, some will list guage of pin on rear of package- Extra-Fine .5mm Shaft is ideal). Pushpins will also work if you don't find the glass head pins.

-Small can of flat black spray paint. (A paper dust mask is helpful if you want to avoid breathing the spray. We will be spraying outdoors!)

-Emory cloth or paper- 400 or 600 grit (1 sheet will be enough).

-Several rolls of black plastic electrical tape.

-Large newsprint pad.
