Chromoskedasic Sabattier what ?
A technique created in the early 1990's which allows basic and rudimentary colors to be created on standard black and white paper. Chromoskedasic is a unique darkroom process that provides fun darkroom experimentation for those who like to put 'play' back into the darkroom. In a nutshell, a black and white print that has been freshly developed but not yet fixed is subjected to two mild photographic solutions, an activator and a stabilizer, while under room light. These chemicals in the presence of light will produce deep red-browns, blues, yellows, oranges, greens and even purple.
Curious to try it out ? Translight Photography Center over in the Brewery has a workshop coming up on Sunday June 27 (don't worry if you can make that date, there's another on July 25) Francesca di Leo will be your instructor.
All the details as well as other alternative process such as wet plate collodion and experimental darkroom printing are listed here. They also have a monthly boot camp for those who wanna get refresher course or those new to darkroom.
