This highly-regarded and aesthetically unique printing method is now practiced by a few dedicated artists. Now you can be one of them.
Overview
Discover the intricately rewarding practice of Carbon Transfer Printing, a complex method of producing an image with layers of carbon to create exquisite detail-rich images. Dive into what was once considered a lost art, and explore the depth of craftsmanship it takes to achieve carbon printing's enchanting effects.
Renown for their stability and long tonal range, carbon prints are considered by some to be the ultimate monochromatic photographic art form. For those who are looking to create an objet d’art as much as achieving their creative vision, this workshop is for you.
In this four-day workshop, join Vaughn Hutchins, one of the foremost carbon printing masters today, to learn to create and sensitize your materials, along with exposing and developing your prints. Vaughn can offer hands on assistance with his 8x10 View Camera allowing you to create a large format negative. This workshop will prepare you to continue the process independently, ready to develop your work at home with materials readily available.
SPRING 2024 - April 17-20
Scheduled for late April, this workshop will occur during the peak of Spring in Yosemite High Country. It is a beautiful and inspiring time to be an artist in Yosemite National Park.
