Workshop: “Black & White Is a Lie! Papercut Cityscapes” with Rosa Leff

We all know that an old photo or an old movie is really black, white and grey all over!  In this workshop you’ll learn to go from a color photo, to black and white, and finally to a high impact cut that is truly black and white.  (Or really any two colors you’d like!). We’ll also discuss when and how to reverse the positive and negative in a photo in order to capture all the nitty gritty details of a complex cityscape.

You’ll be asked to print an 8×10″ photo before class (on regular, plain ol’ printer paper) and come prepared with tape (scotch, painter’s, washi- whatever you’ve got), a ruler, a pencil, your favorite knife and paper.  Rosa recommends a Fiskars Fingertip Craft Knife, Excel #11 Blades, and Canson Mi-Teintes paper.  She is also a strong advocate for making do!  So if you’ve got other supplies you’d like to swap in just send her an email at rosaleff@gmail.com to make sure they’ll work.
