Workshop - Salt paper printing
Join us on Sunday the 17th DECEMBER from 1 to 5pm and learn everything you need to know on how to print with this alternative process!
Interested in experimental printing techniques?
Come and learn the basics of salt paper printing!
During this 4h workshop we will teach you the chemical recipe to transform normal paper into UV-sensitive paper.
The principle is quite simple: salt and silver nitrate will react together on the paper to give silver chloride, a light-sensitive compound. When exposed to light, the silver chloride turns into silver and gives off beautiful shades of brown. Sodium hyposulphite (the fixer) is used to remove the unreacted silver chloride. It will then be possible to keep the print for a long time.
We will work on quality watercolour paper, with 1/1 negative films printed beforehand with your personal photos.
This workshop is very fun and you will leave with many of your own images!
If you are interested please send us your images in good quality a week before the workshop! At least 2 IMAGES of your choices :)
What’s included in this course?
Course is multi lingual and will be given in French and English depending on the attendees.
Workshop will be given by the artist Toinette Chaudron.

I understand—it can be overwhelming to choose with so many options available.
For everyday use, I usually recommend Kodak Gold 200 or Kodak Ultramax 400 as both are super versatile, offer beautiful, rich colours, and are quite forgiving.
If you’re looking for black-and-white film, Ilford XP2 400 is a great option for ease of use and rich exposure latitude. Alternatively, Foma 100 is also great and will give you a bit more contrast and a grainier look.
