The Magic of Chemistry: Silver Gelatin Lith Printing Workshop
2026-07-08 09:30 - 2026-07-12 16:30
In this workshop, you will learn how to create prints with unique textures, contrast and colors unlike any other darkroom printing method. Lith printing requires patience and a willingness to embrace unexpected results. Using specialized lith developers, we will work with currently available papers as well as several vintage papers. You will also explore similar but different printing approaches including second-pass lith and copper bleaching. The workshop will include a primer on digital image preparation and working with digital negatives and so both digital and film photographers are welcome. Digital photographers will want to bring a laptop equipped with Photoshop for image preparation. Students should bring a variety of images to work with. Lith printing works especially well with strong, simple compositions regardless of subject matter. Materials included with the workshop fee include transparent film for digital negatives and a selection of photographic paper.
Doug Ethridge is a photographer and the author of Silver Gelatin in the Digital Age, A Step-by-Step Manual for Digital/Analog Hybrid Photography, published by Routledge/Focal Press. The book includes a comprehensive chapter on lith printing using currently available materials. Doug began working in photography and multimedia production in the late 1970’s and was the owner and creative director of a Seattle-based production company for more than 40 years. He has taught black and white and hybrid photography classes at Photocenter NW. His fine art images have been exhibited in solo and group exhibitions throughout the U.S and in China. Most of the work on his website is created using lith printing.

Double Rainbow Doubleweave Workshop with Jennifer Moore
2026-07-30 09:00 - 2026-08-01 17:00
3-day workshop with Jennifer Moore
Thursday – Saturday, July 30 – August 1, 2026
9:00 AM – 5: PM
2 Layers, 4 or 8 Shafts, 6 Colors – Endless possibilities!
Discover the magic of color in weaving with internationally renowned fiber artist Jennifer Moore in this immersive and inspiring doubleweave workshop. Often described as the ultimate color sampler, this class invites weavers to explore the dazzling possibilities of layered cloth, shifting color, and optical illusion.
Before the workshop, students will prepare a warp using Jennifer’s unique system for arranging multiple colors in rotational sequence. Once at the loom, a simple two-layered doubleweave structure opens the door to extraordinary results as colors interact, overlap, and move past one another to create luminous iridescence, moiré effects, and endlessly surprising visual mixtures.
Throughout the workshop, students will experiment with a variety of structures including warp rep, warp-faced twills, and other single-layer techniques that reveal the incredible versatility of this warp design. Weavers working on eight shafts with two blocks will also have the opportunity to explore dynamic block combinations and expansive pattern possibilities.
In addition to hands-on weaving, Jennifer will present a comprehensive lecture on block doubleweave design, giving students practical tools and creative strategies for designing their own doubleweave patterns on any shaft configuration.
Whether you are drawn to bold color exploration, complex structure, or the thrill of discovering unexpected effects in cloth, this workshop offers a rich and inspiring deep dive into the art of doubleweave. Leave with a remarkable sampler, a stronger understanding of color theory and optical mixing in weaving, and countless ideas for future projects.

Emulsion Transfer Workshop
2026-07-30 09:30 - 2026-08-01 16:00
Emulsion transfers give an artist another process of putting ink on paper and creating a unique print. We will work from digital files printed onto an emulsion dual film in either color or black and white as you choose. This is not the old hand sanitizer process you may have played with, but a workflow and materials that allow you scale and creative choices. We will be able to use most types of papers to do this from watercolor to exotic washi.
This is a two day course with an open day in between to allow adequate drying time. Day 1 will be preparing images to transfer and paper preparation. Day 2 will be making prints.The day in between, 7/31/26, is free.
This process doesn’t require specialized equipment so it’s a process that you can take home and use.
