SUMMARY:Darkroom Alchemy: Lith Printing
DESCRIPTION:Want to create one-of-a-kind and (mostly) unpredictable darkroom prints with aesthetics anywhere from haunted forgotten media to sketched in charcoal to etched in stone? Tired printing of endless test strips in the darkroom? Dive right in with the magical process of lith printing in this workshop! With the use of an alternate darkroom developer and shockingly old paper\, lith printing creates darkroom prints that can look unlike anything else. Some things students can expect from prints are any combination of: intense contrast\, visible grain\, unexpected colors\, dark or light speckling\, funky vignetting\, stunning highlight tonality\, spooky shadow delineation\, and so much more. \nThis workshop will give students the tools and knowledge to make entirely unique prints! Students will also get one-on-one guidance to work towards the aesthetic vision and story you might have in mind for your images. For students unfamiliar with darkroom printing\, there will be a quick refresh on the basics of printing with an enlarger\, and feel free to bring digital negatives for contact printing to streamline the process further. This technique is experimental and unpredictable–be ready for unexpected outcomes\, happy accidents you can’t replicate\, and the alchemy of the lith developer to decide your fate! \nWhat you will learn:\n1. Technical overview of the alternative darkroom print developing technique–lith bromide printing–and the range of its aesthetic results\n2. Basic refresher of how to print images in the darkrooom\n3. How to manipulate contrast and and control tonality in lith printing\n4. Experimenting with negative and paper selections to dramatically impact lith printing results\n5. Fun and (totally safe) chaos in the darkroom!”

SUMMARY:Four Filmic Character Sketches: The Maid
DESCRIPTION:The medium of film is particularly well-suited for examining intricacies of the human experience. In this class we’ll screen four modern character studies and consider what their closely-observed details reveal about the universal truths of our existence.  With four films from three countries\, we’ll discuss how inner conflict is visualized to drive narrative and inject deeper meaning into action as well as presenting an overview of the careers of the artists involved.  Post-screening discussion about the characters portrayed will not be considered gossip. \nThis week\, we’ll be screening THE MAID (2009\, directed by Sebastián Silva\, Chile).\n\nOther films to be screened:\nHELL OF A HEARTACHE (2020\, directed by Ron Burson\, U.S.) on 6/16/2025 | REGISTER\nGLASSES (2007\, Naoko Ogigami\, Japan) on 6/23/2025 | REGISTER\nPRIVATE LIFE (2018\, directed by Tamara Jenkins\, U.S.) on 7/7/2025 | REGISTER
