Salt printing is a silver nitrate based contact printing method invented by Henry Fox Talbot in the mid-1830s. The process produces a beautiful range of earth tones, including black, sepia, and brown, often with a soft, atmospheric, romantic look. Salt printing is a wonderful way to explore the history of photography and to add new dimensions of creativity to your images.

Salt prints are very simple and economical to make, with even ordinary table salt sufficient to provide the necessary sodium chloride. Images are converted into digital negatives, using an inkjet printer on transparency film, then contact printed with UV light, and then developed/fixed.

In conjunction with the exhibition, Trained Histories, artist Michael Borowski will lead this workshop on salt printing, touching on all the basics you need to start exploring and creating with the process.
