T19. Introduction to New Resinotype with Miguelo Aguilar

In this workshop, participants will be introduced to the New Resinotype process through a combination of theory and hands on practice. The session covers the basic principles of the technique, focusing on the materials involved, the step by step workflow, and the way different image zones can be treated to control density and visual balance.The theoretical section also introduces monochrome resinotype, offering a clear technical foundation before moving into the practical phase. The goal is to understand how the process behaves before applying it directly.The remainder of the workshop is dedicated to experimentation, giving participants time to apply the technique, test variations, and gain confidence through making. The emphasis is on learning the process through direct practice and material experience.

Outline

1. Theory: materials, resinotype process, treatment of image zones, and introduction to monochrome resinotype
2. Practice: hands-on work applying the New Resinotype technique

Participants must bring:

• Negatives or positives on acetate that you would like to convert into resinotypes at the final size you want.
• If you know how to separate colours on the computer, you may bring the three positives, one for each RGB colour that composes the image.
• Objects that can be used to create photograms.
• A material or surface on which you would like to produce the resinotype.
• Any pigment you would like to test (not too intense).
