Class Description

Description

Chromoskedasic Sabattier, or "Chromo," is an experimental darkroom technique that introduces color and silvering into silver gelatin prints through the application of specialized chemistry, producing one-of-a-kind multicolor and metallic imagery.

This online course is designed for students who are comfortable making silver gelatin prints from negatives and are interested in incorporating experimentation and chance into their darkroom practice. Through lectures, demonstrations, discussions, and group critiques, participants will learn the brush method of Chromo to create both lens-based and cameraless imagery that considers color, shape, line, and texture in the final print. Topics include home workspace setup, chemical safety and mixing, and how varying chemical ratios influence results. Participants will leave the course with knowledge of contemporary Chromo practitioners, an understanding of the variables that shape the process, and a portfolio of 9-15 unique Chromo prints that explore a variety of approaches within the technique.

Requirements:

  • Access to a darkroom, either at home or through a local community darkroom,* is essential for participating in this course.
  • Students will need to either create prints from negatives or make photograms (either with an enlarger or an exposure unit), a darkroom with a safelight for developing, running water, and an open window or outdoor space for applying the Chromo chemistry.
  • Please note that additional materials and chemistry will need to be purchased for class.
*If a local darkroom does not permit the use of Chromo chemistry, prints can be fully washed and dried in the darkroom, transported home in a light-tight black bag, and then treated with  Chromo chemistry and fixed at home or in an outdoor workspace.

Remote Learning

This course is available for "remote" learning and will be available to anyone with access to an internet device with a microphone (this includes most models of computers, tablets). Classes will take place with a "Live" instructor at the date/times listed below.
