This 3-day exploration will be an opportunity to unite your photographic practice with the materiality of place. Starting with photography, we will make unique and personal images on the Bartram trail. Next, we'll incorporate elements of the Bartram Trail landscape, including soil pigments and found plant fragments, into handmade paper. Then, we'll use photographic image transfer techniques to delight in the unique qualities of your photographs in fusion with newly crafted sheets of paper.
This workshop is open to photographers and makers of all levels. Participants will be offered the opportunity to have their photographs juried into the Listening to the Land: Reimagining the Bartram Trail community exhibition in Fall 2023.
