Chlorophyll prints harness plants’ natural capabilities to alter their pigments as a way to re-direct energy in the photosynthesis process. This redirection of energy results in a pigment change that can be used to create a photographic image.

 

This two-day workshop will go over the basics of using leaves to create a one of a kind chlorophyll print. Topics covered include preparing a positive for printing, what leaves work well with the process, exposures times and print finishing. The workshop will be taught over two weekends, two weeks apart to allow for exposures and experimentation between sessions.
