Historic Photo-printing Methods (PHT-0127)

Spring 2026 · PHT 0127 · Tufts University · 4 credits · Undergraduate

Artists turn to hand-coated photography for many reasons, such as using tactile paper and fabric, expanding their photo and printmaking repertoire, creating pages for books. Create artwork using four processes: cyanotype, Vandyke brown printing, platinum & palladium printing, and brush-on black and white emulsion (Liquid Light) for modern tintypes and other surfaces as well as enlarged digital negatives. Field trips and presentations on contemporary artists and historic works. Students produce projects that engage deeply with the materials, mediums and our times. Open to all students, no experience necessary. Non-SMFA students and MAT Art Education students will receive a letter grade.
