​Further Detail
In this workshop we will experiment with a selection of ILFORD photographic papers (warm tone & neutral). We will also develop our prints using two different ILFORD developers and one Rapid Fixer. This technique is very experimental and you can be as neat or messy as you like. We will also experiment with different resists for example, coffee, syrup, wax and cooking oil can all be used to stop the development / exposure.
