Botanical Alchemy: A Weekend of Lumen Prints & Phytograms with Anne Eder

@ About Join artist and educator Anne Eder for a captivating two-day summer workshop at the Griffin Museum. You’ll learn to create beautiful, one-of-a-kind photographic images using contemporary cameraless techniques: lumen prints, and phytograms. Harness the natural light sensitivity of plants to make striking, eco-friendly photographs — no darkroom or toxic chemicals required. These poetic processes celebrate the organic beauty of impermanence, experimentation, and nature’s hidden colors. TOPICS DETAILS INSTRUCTOR ENROLL NOW INQUIRE Image © Anne Eder © Anne Eder © Anne Eder Topics The workshop includes hands-on demonstrations, guided experimentation, and a look at historical and contemporary artists working in these techniques. Whether you’re a seasoned photographer or just curious about sustainable, nature-inspired art-making, this weekend promises to be inspiring, experimental, and fun. Lumen Prints: Surreal, color-shifting images made by exposing black-and-white photo paper in the sun, revealing ghostly impressions of plants and objects. Phytograms: Wild, abstract imagery developed directly on film using a homemade developer made of vitamin C, washing soda, and plant material.
