Williamsport, Pa. – Factory Works Photo Lab at the Pajama Factory will offer two one-day workshops this November, on the Saturdays of Nov. 14 and Nov. 21 from 1 to 4 p.m. The price to attend each workshop is $35 per student, and all supplies are included in that fee.
The Nov. 14 workshop focuses on using a large-format camera. Each student will have the opportunity to use an 8 x 10 large format camera. With the camera, each participant will be allowed to explore the Pajama Factory and take photos to create unique photographic prints.
The Nov. 21 workshop will focus on Cliché Verre, a photographic process combining painting and photography that was popular with French landscape artists in the 19th century. Using India ink, participants will paint designs onto a plate of glass that will then be used as a negative to create photographs in the darkroom. Attendees will each leave with three finished 8 x 10 prints to take with them.
