BUSHWICK COMMUNITY DARKROOM

SATURDAY JUNE 23

3:15pm - 4:15pm
Workshop: Gum Printing
Gum Bichromate is a 19th century photo printing technique using potassium dichromate as the light sensitizer, gum arabic as the emulsion base, and water colors as the pigment. Images are contact printed from enlarged negatives. Gum printing is an easy process to do at home. Because the chemicals in this process are sensitive to UV light, the print is exposed in the sun and developed in water. You don't even need a darkroom. Come hang out with Bushwick Community Darkroom and learn this simple and beautiful process.
