KYOTOGRAPHIE 2017

This workshop will give you opportunity to visit the Benrido studio and reproduce your image using the collotype techniques.

In this workshop we will deviate from the traditional glass-made printing plate and participants will learn to use the new version of the process plate made from a monochrome negative (collotype tissue). This tissue provides the base where the negative can be coated with the gelatin, infused with DIAZO a nontoxic photosensitizer, making collotype more accessible. Even those who have experienced traditional collotype workshops will gain knowledge and a new perspective using this version of production.

After an explanation of the method of production, participants produce the collotype tissue, then complete the process: exposure, developing, and printing.

Date : April 22. 2017　10:00-17:00
Capacity: 8 members（on the first-come-first-served basis）
Place: Kyoto Benrido Collotype Atelier
