Carbon Transfer Workshop with Sandy King

[sanking]

I will be teaching a workshop on carbon transfer July 24-29th, 2016 at the Photographer's Formulary in Montana.

In addition to instruction in carbon, printing with either analog or digital negatives, I will also teach a very detailed work flow using QTR for making digital negatives. The work flow could be easily calibrated for working with other alternative printing processes, such as albumen, cyanotype, pt/pd, salted paper, and silver gelatin.

Workshop Description
Carbon Printing with Sandy King July 24-29th, 2016

Carbon is one of the oldest of all photographic processes, having been introduced more or less in its present form in 1864 by the Englishman Joseph W. Swan. It is a contact printing process that gives a final image that consists of a pigment suspended in hardened gelatin. Carbon is without question one of the premier photographic processes in history as regards image quality. Prints made with the carbon process have a unique image quality characterized by surface relief and can be made in a wide range of colors and tones, the choice limited only by the availability of suitable tissue. Carbon prints are also highly permanent, as stable if not more so than platinum prints.
The carbon transfer workshop at the Photographers Formulary will provide detailed hands-on instruction that will teach students every step of this fascinating but complicated process. All of the various steps in making a carbon print will be explored in depth, including sensitizing carbon tissue to make it sensitive to UV light, preparation of final support papers, mating the sensitized and exposed tissue with a final support, and development of the carbon print in warm water. The students will also learn how to make carbon tissue, and to size and harden art papers as supports for the final carbon image.
The workshop will explore in detail the Sensitometry of carbon printing with both analog film negatives and with digital negatives. Specific instruction will be provided on exposing and developing negatives for printing with carbon, and in making digital negatives.
The carbon transfer workshop will be taught by Sandy King, a fine art photographer from South Carolina who is one of the most experienced carbon printers in the world. He has published numerous articles on carbon printing in both print and on-lines sources, including Photovision, Silvershotz and View Camera and has conducted numerous workshops on carbon printing in the USA and abroad.

The Formualry has informed me that the carbon workshop from July 24-29, 2016 has already met the minimum student requirement. However, in the event some of you might still be interested in attending there are two or three openings available for the workshop. For details please contact either Lynn or Sherry at Workshops in Montana, at 406-754-2891, or at the formulary@blackfoot.net

This is, by the way, the only group workshop on carbon printing I have scheduled for 2016.

In addition to instruction in carbon I also teach at my carbon workshops a fairly sophisticated methodology of making digital negatives with QuadTone Rip and Epson photo printers, based on either the Epson K3 inks or a custom all gray inkset.
