Carbon Transfer Process
with Sandy King

Skill Level: Beginning Alternate Process
Fee: $375.00 (including lab and material fees)

The carbon transfer process is among the most permanent and beautiful of the alternative photographic processes and we couldn't be more more fortunate than to have Sandy King with us this year to teach it to us. A wonderful landscape photographer and alternative process printer. Sandy is well known for his knowledge of the carbon process as well as the author of "The Book of Carbon and Carbro: Contemporary Procedures for Monochrome Pigment Printmaking".

This workshop will be an intensive 2 day workshop, so come expecting to put a lot into this one. You will learn to choose and use the necessary chemicals and materials for making your own carbon prints. From creation of a digital negative suitable for the process through to the final print, you will cover the necessary aspects involved. Creation of the negative, sensitizing the carbon tissue, exposure and transfer to a suitable base and its subsequent development. You will then learn to clear the print and then carry out the final finishing, including touch up work.

Sandy will also be doing extensive demonstrations on making carbon and on preparing other suitable final supports for the carbon image, including art papers and aluminum. By the end of this workshop you will have the basic skills and knowledge of the chemistry and process to begin pursuing the process further on your own.

As stated above, the fee for this workshop will cover all lab and material fees as well. Your fee for this workshop will also include the registration fee for Photostock 2009 and entitle you to all that registration entails.

There is a $100 deposit due upon registration that will be refundable only until May 1st, 2009. The balance of the fee will be due by June 1st, 2009. Please choose your registration option in the right hand column. Payment is accepted via Paypal and you can choose to pay the deposit or the full amount at this time.

A good companion to this workshop would be the one held on Monday with Kerik Kouklis and Ike Eisenlord on the Digital Negative and we are offering a discounted workshop package that includes both at a reduced rate.

Thank you and we hope to see you there!
