Alternative Process: Platinum Palladium with Layered Color
Morgan Post
Tuition $1,325
Code P0409-25
Explore a historic and captivating method of printmaking through the platinum and palladium process, which dates back to the late 19th century. Students bring their image archives to delve into this exquisite printing technique renowned for its extended tonal range and deep, rich blacks that can be adjusted from warm to cool. While working with digital files, participants create color layers and generate digital negatives. This approach blends inkjet and platinum/palladium printmaking techniques on various paper types, including thin vellum, producing both monochromatic and full-color prints. The unique feature of this method is that platinum and palladium form the blacks and grays, while the inkjet adds the color.
