Demo Class for Gum Bichromate

Gum bichromate is an historic photographic process which uses watercolors to create the image. It is considered a ‘control process’ since the artist has extraordinary control over the final image. This session will be a working introduction to the process. It will include an overview discussion of the history, equipment, materials, workflow, and technique for the gum bichromate. Students will see the process demonstrated by an experienced practitioner. Questions are encouraged, and hands-on participation will be included as feasible.
