Experimenting in the Darkroom

Embrace the process

This 4-session workshop focuses on experimentation in the darkroom. We will look at what happens in the darkroom when we go off the beaten path and let the different techniques we’ll use, with chemistry and light, surprise us.

This is not a course in which you’ll learn to print a photograph in a traditional way. Each class begins with an explanation of a particular technique and with looking at work by well-known photographers who have experimented with these techniques. Of course, we will also look at each other’s work.

Please note: This class is taught in Dutch, but the instructor will translate into English if it’s requested.

Sculpting in stone

Sculpting is much older than the road to Rome and at the same time always relevant. It is a combination of craft, spatial insight, creativity and a lot of guts! You start with a piece of stone and arrive at a beautiful sculpture. An exciting route where anything can happen along the way, a project that is all yours from beginning to end. Willem has, from his own practice as an artist, much experience and guides you and the group during this adventure towards your work of art.
