The main revisions to the previous email update are in italic.Īs most darkroom workers know, there was some bad news at the beginning of 2007 with Forte products being finally discontinued, so I am delighted to be able to report that there is also some good news for the future: I have not reproduced the entire lists here. The following update on the lith materials lists in ‘The World of Lith Printing’ supersedes the update previously posted in this archive and should be read in conjunction with the lists in the book.

LITH PRINTING MATERIALS UPDATE (since publication of WOLP) Accommodation is on site, the darkrooms never close, and there is great home cooking! So why not have a 2-centre holiday and spend a week on a photographing trip and then process your negs on the printing workshop? There are 3 large processing rooms and a lecture room, which we will have all to ourselves. Well, consider this: 'The Formulary' centre sits in 26 acres of Montana’s Swan Valley and is a great place to button onto a photo-shoot holiday in adjacent Glacier National Park or nearby Yellowstone National Park (amongst other places). These workshops are great fun and I'm delighted to see there are so many returning participants from previous years - so we must be doing something right! These are already filling up quickly but spaces are available. They will dispense with the basics in favour of personal supervision into whatever direction the student wishes. Weeks 2 and 3 are at the special request of 2007’s students and are for anyone who has attended one of my 5 day lith printing courses before. The course includes the basic and more advanced techniques plus 2-bath lith processes, bleach and lith redevelopment and toning of lith prints. No previous lith printing experience is necessary, although basic darkroom experience is. Week 1 is open to all and will take attendees from beginner to fairly advanced status in the week. We have the whole place to ourselves and the darkrooms are open around the clock!įull details are at Click on workshops and then on October and maybe also sign up to the blog and newsletter there for further details of the programmes in due course. October 2008 will be Lith Printing month in Montana!įor the first time ever the Photographer’s Formulary will be running 3 weeks of ‘live-in’ lith printing courses with me during most of October 2008 as part of their 30th anniversary and 10th workshop anniversary.
