Platinum / Palladium Workshop
A unique opportunity to spend a week learning
the Platinum/Palladium Printing Process with one of todays' foremost Palladium
Printers, David Michael Kennedy. This workshop is limited to one student
at a time who will live and work at David's home/studio just outside of
Santa Fe New Mexico. Each day will be spent working with David in his darkroom,
where you will make your own enlarged negatives and print your own work.
This is a hands-on intensive workshop, designed so that you leave with
a good working knowledge of the process and a foundation that will allow
you to return home and continue to work within the process.
You must have negatives to work with before
you come to New Mexico. David works with enlarged negatives so your original
negatives can be any format and you will learn how to make dupe negatives
for final contact printing.
The tuition for this workshop is $2500.00 for the 5 days. This includes room and board and transportation to and from the airport. There is an additional lab fee of $325.00-$425.00 The lab fee is $325.00 for Palladium only and $425.00 for Platinum and Palladium.
A portfolio and personal phone conversation with David are required for admission. This is a year round workshop sponsored by The Santa Fe Photographic Workshop, and Hasselblad Cameras.

An Introduction to Platinum/Palladium Printing
Platinum prints are valued by galleries and
collectors for their inherent beauty and archival stability. Kerik
Kouklis will demystify the platinum process
and cover such topics as: hand coating, contrast control, film
exposure and development for platinum printing,
paper choices, sensitizer additives, building UV light sources, print retouching,
and traditional and digitally enlarged negatives. (We will not have time
to actually make enlarged negatives during the workshop.) Students are
encouraged to bring their own 4x5 or medium format negatives. Kerik will
also provide digital negatives or glass plates for student printing, if
needed. Included with the workshop: all paper, chemicals and supplies needed
to print during the workshop, a class workbook, and glass coating rod.
Some additional supplies will be available for purchase at the end of the
workshop.
The workshop will consist of a maximum of
7 people so that each student will have adequate one-on-one
instruction. Previous darkroom experience
is helpful, although not required. Medium format or larger negatives are
recommended (4x5 is the best size to learn with). Students should also
bring several examples of their current work to show. The first day of
the workshop will include an informal print critique session, lecture/discussion
of the platinum process and an afternoon field session where Kerik will
demonstrate the use of a 7x17 view camera and students are welcome to make
photographs with their own cameras as well. The darkroom will be available
to process film in the evening so that brand-new negatives tailored for
platinum printing can be used during the workshop.

Kerik Kouklis photographs the places and things
that catch his eye as he travels through life. Although his
work can be broadly described as landscape
photography, it is quite different from traditional "Grand
Landscape" imagery. Kerik's work is often
subtle and thoughtful and conveys a strong sense of place without
being overtly dramatic. He often photo-graph-s
in fog or very low light, giving many of his images an ethereal and peaceful
quality. This character is enhanced by his platinum/palladium prints, which
have a long, delicate tonal scale that is ideally suited to this artist's
work.
Much of Kerik's recent work has been created
in the panoramic format with an 80-year-old Korona 7"x17"
banquet camera that was originally intended
to photograph large groups of people. Kerik took to this long,
narrow format intuitively, and his resulting
compositions are fluid and lyrical. In 1998, Kerik began a series of circular
images that serve as a striking counterpoint to his panoramic work.
Primarily self-taught, Kerik has become committed to the venerable process of platinum/palladium printing. In the hands of this skilled artist, this approach to fine printmaking results in exquisite prints with a warm color, smooth tonal scale, and a distinct luminosity. Kerik has found that the subtle beauty of the platinum print best expresses his personal vision. A much more time-consuming and costly process than gelatin silver printing, platinum prints are created by the artist by hand-coating fine rag paper with a sensitizer solution containing the platinum and palladium metals that form the image. Platinum prints are valued by galleries, museums and collectors for their incomparable beauty and extreme archival stability.
Kerik's work has been exhibited widely and
his prints are in the permanent collection of the Lamar-Dodd Art
Center in LaGrange, Georgia and the Hoyt
Institute of Arts in Newcastle, Pennsylvania, as well as many private and
corporate collections in the US and abroad. His work has also been published
in books, calendars, posters, postcards, and periodicals including The
Photo Review, Shutterbug, Camera and Darkroom, and Carnegie Magazine. Kerik's
work is represented by The Paul Kopeikin Gallery in Los Angeles, The Afterimage
Gallery in Dallas, The Fstops Here Gallery in Santa Barbara and Aperture
Gallery in Salt Lake City. Kerik has taught workshops in platinum printing
in California, Washington and Toronto, Canada. He currently resides in
Placerville, California with his wife and two young daughters.

Customized Individual Workshops by Carl Weese, co-author of The New Platinum Print and Contributing Editor to PHOTO Techniques magazine.
Individual photography workshops with Carl Weese are available year-round at Carl's facilities in the Litchfield hills of western Connecticut. Workshops can concentrate on platinum/palladium printing, view camera technique in the field and in the darkroom (including oversize banquet camera work), or the use of pyro developers to create and then print with dual-purpose negatives. Each workshop is individually tailored to the needs of the student and can run anywhere from a single day to a full week. For prices and other details or to design a custom workshop, contact Carl at (203) 263-5853, or email to carl@carlweese.com

Free to Workshops
Two 11X14 UV Light Sources Loaner units
(standard and High Output) are available for
use in Platinum/Palladium and other Alternative Processes Workshops, and
they can be used Free of Charge.
The units can be reserved by the Workshop Instructor or Sponsor, and they will be responsible for the shipping charges and unpacking and repackaging the units in their returnable shipping crates. Each light source ships in its own wooden crate and it is returned in the same container. Both units have their own Gra-Lab timer so all that is required are print frames and chemicals.
My experience with Workshops is that the more UV Light Sources that are available for printing, the more workshop participant's learn about the process.
To reserve any of the units, contact Jon
Edwards at "JonE at EEPJON.com"
