Join artist and educator Anne Eder for a captivating two-day spring workshop at the Griffin Museum, where art and nature converge. You'll learn to create beautiful, one-of-a-kind photographic images using contemporary cameraless techniques: lumen prints, and phytograms.
Harness the natural light sensitivity of plants to make striking, eco-friendly photographs -- no darkroom or toxic chemicals required. These poetic processes celebrate the organic beauty of impermanence, experimentation, and nature's hidden colors.
You'll explore:
-- Lumen Prints - surreal, color-shifting images made by exposing black-and-white photo paper in the sun, revealing ghostly impressions of plants and objects.
-- Phytograms - wild, abstract imagery developed directly on film using a homemade developer made of vitamin C, washing soda, and plant material.
The workshop includes hands-on demonstrations, guided experimentation, and a look at historical and contemporary artists working in these techniques. Whether you're a seasoned photographer or just curious about sustainable, nature-inspired art-making, this weekend promises to be inspiring, experimental, and fun.
