Get seduced by the magic of black and white darkroom photography! You'll explore the historic photographic technique of the photogram, in which placing objects on the light-sensitive paper you can create rich and elaborate images. You'll learn developing techniques and will walk away with several 8x10" photograms of your very own!

Bring several small objects that you can work into a composition and have an interesting contour. Translucent fabric or papers with interesting patterns, like lace, or mesh also work well with the process.
