The image is a collage of five photos showing steps in creating art with flower petals on white fabric. Top left shows a woman's hands arranging yellow, red, and purple flower petals on a white cloth spread outdoors. Top right shows a hand arranging bright pink petals. The arrangement includes an existing flower design. The middle right image shows a person working on a similar design next to a sunflower. The bottom left shows a finished design of an orange-red flower with red text on fabric in a metal frame. To the left and right of the frame are seated individuals. The bottom right shows a person using tape to arrange flower petals and leaves.

Top Left: A group of women are seated outdoors at a long wooden picnic table, under the shade of trees. They are working on individual hammered floral art projects, arranging flowers on fabric or paper, and hammering them to create imprints. The table has a "busy" look due to the art projects. In the background, other people sitting in chairs are also visible, along with lawn and trees.
Top Right: Two women are working on a white plastic folding table outdoors. One woman with a wide-brimmed straw hat is hammering flowers onto a white reusable tote bag. Another woman is standing nearby, arranging flowers. A bicycle is partially visible in the background.
Bottom: A close-up shot of pressed/hammered flowers on a white surface. Different varieties of flowers in shades of red, pink, orange, and yellow are scattered on a surface, with a black rubber mallet lying next to them. A document with heat setting instructions can be seen. A length of white cloth runs around the flowers and the mallet.

In her left hand, she holds a bright bouquet of zinnias and dahlias. In her right hand, she is holding up a white tote bag decorated with pressed flower designs in shades of yellow, orange, and purple. The tote bag appears to contain snacks.

#Indigo & #hibiscus infused with water to create part of the #PlantBased compound mixture for #AnalogueFilm #PhotoNegatives #FilmDeveloping at the #CreativeWorkshop yesterday.

The #AnalogueFilm camera used at the #CreativeWorkshop yesterday.

The #Graflex #CrownGraphic aka Graflex #PacemakerCrownGraphic is a #LargeFormat press #camera introduced by Graflex Inc. in 1947. The lesser known Crown Graphic is commonly mistaken for the Graflex Speed Graphic which is often regarded as the most famous press camera of all time. The mistake is easy to make, however, since the two cameras are identical apart from an additional focal plane shutter on the speed.

I had a great time at the indigo & plant-based #AnalogueFilm processing workshop, at Wark St Commons Community Garden, in #QuadraCommunityVillage 😀

Learned a lot. Got to enjoy hands-on practice at blending different processing fluids & developing photos at the workshop.

I'm quite tired now. Really need to eat & rest. I met some wonderful fellow creatives. I'm keen to learn & do more of these experimental, alternative photography processing manual techniques.
I recruited 2 new activist volunteers too, for free Palestine actions.

City of Victoria Artist in Residence Kemi Craig is hosting an experimental workshop with collaborating artist Trudi Lynn Smith and guest artist Josh Ngenda from Flux Media that will introduce participants to alternative ways of developing analogue film using indigo and other plant-based materials.

Date: Friday, July 12, 2024
What: Experiment developing analogue film with indigo pigment and other plant-based materials
When: 4-6 p.m.
Where: Wark Street Commons Garden, 941 Kings Road

Cost: Free

On Friday, I'm going to an experimental #CreativeWorkshop to learn alternative ways of developing #AnalogueFilm using #indigo & other #PlantBased materials.

Kemi Craig is a woman of African descent who grew up in South Carolina where indigo is of historical significance for #BlackCultures. As an #artist working in analogue film, which has also deeply affected ideas of Blackness across cultural spectrums, Kemi is interested in exploring relationships between #ImageMaking & indigo. In unpacking parallel practices & #cultural relationships to indigo & film, Craig has invited Joshua Ngenda from #FluxMedia to collaborate. Trudi Lynn Smith will generously share her extensive #FilmDevelopment experience & #PlantKnowledge with participants.

Really enjoyed hosting a digital photography workshop for 14-18 year olds with @ariot_mkgallery making work on the chosen theme No Entry - exploring forbidden spaces. There's still time to see the Boyd & Evans: High Time exhibition at MK Gallery which provided the attendees with a lot of inspiration. 📸 @rossbolwill
