Lumen Photo Printing with Plant Materials

  • 205 Ocean Avenue Portland United States (map)

In collaboration with Wild Seed Project, Rosalba Breazeale will be hosting an art workshop featuring lumen and chemigram photographic processes.

During this workshop, participants will create chemigrams – object-based images on light sensitive paper - utilizing responsibly foraged plant material, pigments, dyes and plant-based developer. This experimental process allows for various forms of mark making or light painting to enter into each unique print. We will begin with a demonstration of various techniques for creating dynamic images after which each participant will create their own. No photographic experience necessary. Please wear clothes you don’t mind getting a little messy.

Supplies: All necessary supplies will be provided. However, participants may bring two-dimensional objects such as stencils, translucent fabric or glass objects. Small three-dimensional objects may also be used but will not render a sharp silhouetted image. The objects should fit on an 8in.x10in. piece of paper. Keep in mind we will be working with cyanotype solution, rust pigment and dyes, which could stain any objects (or clothes) they come in contact with.

Notes on access: The studio and backyard are wheelchair accessible.  The closest bus stop is on the number 2 line, at Forest & Walton. 

Space is limited; please register on Wild Seed Project’s website (link located here).
