Towards a Sustainable Darkroom: Experimental Alternative Process Workshop with Aindreas Scholz

Alternative photographic printing practices are experiencing a significant come-back, both due to their appealing visual qualities and to the fact that they are more sustainable and environmentally friendly.

During this full-day workshop, tutor, and researcher, Aindreas Scholz, will introduce you to one of the earliest and latest camera-less photographic printing processes and practices, cyanotype, while also incorporating sustainable materials.

This workshop is for either beginners or intermediate learners who wish to develop their alternative process skills with a strong focus on Fine Art (e.g. composition, exposure, and image editing).

Offered as part of the programme of events for our exhibition Imprints: Photography as Practice, this special artist-led workshop builds on Photo Museum Ireland’s wider commitment to artists’ training and artform development for photographers.

Learners will be taken through the historical, technical, and creative aspects of this fascinating process, with an emphasis on making the darkroom a more sustainable space, based on the tutor’s own ongoing research.
