Chemigrams with plant-based photo chemistry with the Sustainable Darkroom
Create art prints from plant matter with artist-led research community The Sustainable Darkroom.
- Booking essential
Make home-made photographic developers using plants foraged from Lacock's Botanic Garden. Using these home-made chemistries you'll explore the possibilities of both photographic surface and its materiality. Working alongside photographic developers and camera-less techniques you'll produce prints from a range of shapes, textures and images on the surface of silver gelatine paper.
This is a 2.5 hour workshop, and includes refreshments and entry to Lacock Abbey and Fox Talbot Museum. Suitable for over 18s only. Sorry, discounts are not possible for National Trust members.
