Landing in Place: Photography Transfer on Handmade Paper with Kaye Savage

Monday, May 12, 2025 9:00 AM - Friday, May 16, 2025 3:00 PM at Warren Wilson College in Asheville, North Carolina

Unite your photographic practice with the materiality of place in this week-long course. We will begin by making meditative images on the Warren Wilson campus and along the Swannanoa River, considering elements of geologic time and cycles of nature. Next, we'll incorporate materials from the landscape, including soil pigments and found plant fragments, into unique handmade papers. Finally, we will join these two art forms through photographic transfer processes.

Week-long Course
Level: All
Cost: $650 (+ $40 materials fee)

Kaye Savage teaches Environmental Studies at Wofford College in Spartanburg, SC. Her artwork spans photography and mixed media/handmade paper, with place-based themes centered on terrain patterns, ecological relationships, and representations of scientific data.
