Chlorophyll printing is a purely organic alternative photographic process that develops images directly on fresh leaves through the action of sunlight. No toxic chemicals are involved; the plant itself performs the “development” via photosynthesis. The veins of the leaf act like blood vessels, its contours like skin, turning each piece into a living canvas with its own graphic dynamics. The results are unique, unrepeatable works that reveal the vital force of plants while questioning our relationship with the natural environment.
This workshop is perfect for anyone interested in alternative photography, plant-based art, ecological aesthetics, or embodied creativity. No prior experience needed—just curiosity and respect for the plant kingdom. You can choose to work with your own images if delivered digital prior to the workshop, or with images provided by us.
You will learn and be guided in:
-
how to prepare digital negatives and convert them on transparency film,
-
choosing leafs for different results
-
assembling the printing frame
-
Exposing with sunlight
You will be able to pick up your artworks 2 days after the workshop, when full exposure is reached.
