In this workshop led by artist Brittonie Fletcher, participants will have the opportunity to explore various techniques of the lumen print process. Lumen prints (and related variants) use analogue photographic papers which are selectively masked with transparencies or objects, exposed to light, and can be fixed or stabilised. Brittonie will guide participants through all the stages of the process, from assembling the printing frame, to experimenting with different techniques, such as lumen print collages, camera-less prints, and chemilumin or accelerated lumen variants using household materials and plants. Brittonie will also share some of the history of the process and discuss light, climate, location and materials.
