This one day workshop for those who want to learn how to mat and frame your own photographs in order to complete the process.

Folks, I'm not involved in the carbon workshop, but I want to say that carbon is one of the most fun alternative processes to try out. It's unlike most others in process, and it is a real eye opener for those who have never done an alternative process before. It's well worth the time to try.

Plus, as an added bonus, once you have done it, you will be about 1/5 of the way to doing photogravure!

I envy the Philadelphians for having workshops like this so conveniently available.

You would think. But it is torture to be this close (and I am literally down the street) but not have the time to take the classes.

Ahhh, maybe next year.
