BIG LIGHT - Chemigram Workshop

Merseyway Workshop

An afternoon exploring the experimental art of chemigrams at Merseyway Workshop

To celebrate the launch of BIG LIGHT, Merseyway Workshop's brand new photographic darkroom, we are hosting an exciting series of photographic and thematic workshops, made possible with support from UKSPF.A chemigram is a camera-less, experimental art form invented by <a href="https://hackelbury.co.uk/artists/32-pierre-cordier/biography/" title="https://hackelbury.co.uk/artists/32-pierre-cordier/biography/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Pierre Cordier in 1956</a> that combines painting with photographic chemistry. It involves applying substances (honey, wax, oil) to photo paper in full light to act as a resist, which controls how the developer and fixer interact with the paper's emulsion.This chemigram workshop has been developed in partnership with Stockport College, devised and planned by one of Stockport College's design students Harley Skelton. Harley has explored the chemigram process as part of his studies in the form of a live brief with Merseyway Workshop, and created a zine for the launch of BIG LIGHT, our new community darkroom, which explains the process.Spots for this workshop are very limited. In the event that you are no longer able to attend, we ask that you let us know by email (info@merseywayworkshop.com) with as much notice as possible so that we are able to transfer your ticket to somebody else, rather than your spot going to waste. There are no refunds for this workshop.This workshop contributes to a programme of events running alongside Amoeba's exhibition at Stockroom, launching on 29th January.
