Master Class in Patinum & Palladium Printing - This class is open to intermediate/advanced Pt/Pd printers working with either in-camera or digitally generated negatives. Emphasis will be placed on the steps of pre-visualization, optimizing the potential of suitable images and ultimately, the making of the final print to communicate the student’s vision to the viewer.Presentations will be given on the work of notable Pt/Pd printers to demonstrate the uniqueness of the Pt/Pd print and aid the student in determining the types of visual statements most appropriate to the medium. Portfolios will be reviewed to identify the unique personal vision of each student. To achieve the goals of the Master Class, processing methods will be presented in combination with various papers suitable for Pt/Pd printing. Field trips are planned, and a laboratory and computers necessary to make images will be provided on site. It is suggested that those students working with in-camera negatives have a working knowledge of basic metering and negative making techniques. These techniques are covered extensively in my book, Platinum & Palladium Printing. 2nd edition, available from dick.arentz@nau.edu. For those students working with digitally generated negatives, Mark Nelson’s method will be used. Students should have a working knowledge of that process and, ideally, come to the workshop with negatives printed using that method. Mark Nelson’s CD, Precision Digital Negatives, is available from Mark at precisiondigitalnegatives.com. Fee: $725.00.
