Photos from Plants: Anthotype Photography | Allen Morris | Fri-Sat, June 20-21 | 9:00 AM-4:00 PM
Adult | Photography | All Levels
Members: $300 | Non-Members: $325
Course ID: PH2502
*This workshop must meet a minimum number of students by May 15, 2025.
Concept
This two-day workshop introduces an historic and ecologically friendly photographic printing process - the Anthotype. Invented by Sir William Herschel in 1842, anthotypes use the light sensitive properties of plant material, such as petals, berries, or plants, to create photographic prints. Learn how to edit and adjust your digital photographs to create digital negatives for use in any number of alternative or experimental photographic processes.
Experience
Lectures, demonstrations, and guided instruction introduce the history of the medium, how to create digitally printed negatives from your image archive/library, and how to successfully expose your negatives using contact frames and watercolor paper. You are encouraged to explore the light sensitive properties of locally sourced organic materials along with more universally available vegetative matter to create the dyes necessary for this process.
Skill Level
All levels welcome, including recreational and professional photographers. All materials are provided. A digital camera (DSLR, point-and-shoot, and/or smartphone) and laptop with Adobe Photoshop is required.

INSTRUCTOR
A firm believer there is an artist, maker, and storyteller in everyone, Allen Morris’ goal as an educator is to help students find the best way to tell their stories through creative processes. His favorite moments are when they do! Allen’s own work focuses on the relationship between humans and their environments. He is also a huge fan of printmaking and bookmaking. When not in the studio, he is exploring the landscape in search of inspiration or baking sourdough bread. Allen earned his MFA from University of Nebraska-Lincoln and is Assistant Professor at Black Hills State University.
