Workshop at CYAN studio12. August 2026
CYAN studio presents a one evening hands-on workshop led by invited teacher Stig Marlon Weston, as part of the Nordic Analogue Network program.
This is an analog workshop giving an introduction to some of the practices that encompass sustainable photography, featuring alternative and eco-friendly development methods.
We will look at the chemical process of developing film and paper, how to substitute the chemicals with more sustainable and natural compounds and how we can experiment with using different ingredients.
Using plants and kitchen chemicals we will mix our own developers and try them out in the darkroom together.
