ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
Spinach, beets & kale – oh my!
Learn the ins and outs of making anthotype photographs made from plant juice emulsions such as flower petals, roots, and leaves, while also learning about the history of anthotypes. In this workshop, participants will be guided through the entire process from start to finish, including the extraction process, and how to expose your photographs to get the best result!
