oin Amanda Marchand and Leah Sobsey for a one-day Anthotype Workshop this May, inspired by the poetic legacy of Emily Dickinson’s herbarium. This immersive, hands-on experience invites participants to connect with nature while exploring one of photography’s earliest processes, using plant-based emulsions and sunlight to create unique, organic prints.
Drawing from their own gardens, participants will gather leaves, petals, and botanicals to craft Anthotype printing paper. Under the guidance of Marchand and Sobsey, they will experiment with a range of techniques including pressing plants onto paper, extracting pigments using a mortar and pestle, and even hammering flowers onto fabric. Each revealing the delicate, fleeting beauty of this eco-conscious photographic process.
A ticket to attend the May 4th PhotoAlliance lecture at Fort Mason featuring Amanda Marchand and Leah Sobsey, with Ala Ebtekar is included with registration to this workshop.
Sun-Fused Imagery workshop is presented in partnership with SF Camerawork.
