The Halide Project

Learn to process black and white film!

On June 16th, in our introductory workshop, students will learn the fundamentals of black and white film processing. We will cover how to mix chemistry, load film, and process a roll of film. Working in the darkroom is both a technical and artistic challenge, and this workshop will give students the opportunity to explore both as a part of their photographic practice. Students just need to bring an exposed roll of Ilford HP5 and a binder for their negatives. We will provide the rest.

Come explore the third dimension of photography by learning how to create a “photo object” using clay, cyanotype, and mixed media during two online sessions on May 16th and 23rd.

During the first session, we will discuss what the third dimension in photography means, and the intentions that may lead an artist to integrate volume and texture into their photographic project. Then, you will learn how to create a cyanotype print on clay using vegetable gelatin.

During the second session, we will cover numerous examples of aesthetic enhancements and added meaning that mixed media brings to three-dimensional photography. You will also learn in detail how to add a golden reflection, and a shiny appearance to your cyanotype on clay using watercolor and resin.

Students will provide their own materials and supplies, and a list will be sent out prior to the first session. Follow the link in our bio to sign up!

Have you ever wanted to help out during a film processing or cyanotype workshop? Here is your chance!

We are building a new TA program and are looking for volunteer TA’s that will serve as our first six month cohort. You can expect to assist two workshops per month and it’s a great opportunity to be an invaluable part of Halide’s educational programming while being exposed to different teaching styles and photographic processes.

Join us tomorrow evening at 5pm EST for a virtual artist talk with Séverine Chauveau! In her experiments with the materiality of the photographic medium, Séverine Chauveau explores her own relationship with time, disappearance, memory, and forgetting. In creating photographic objects as small “souvenirs,” she moves intimately through her questioning of time as encapsulated in the material of photography.

Séverine’s work is featured in our current exhibition at The Halide Project, [Im]printing Memory open through April 19th. A Q&A will follow her presentation.
