I had an incredible time earlier this month learning how to make Photogravure prints at the Ansel Adams Gallery in Yosemite.

We had a fantastic instructor, Clay Harmon, who wrote the book on Polymer Photogravure.

It really was an amazing experience waking up every morning in Yosemite, walking to class (occassionally seeing bears on the way!) and spending the day making prints in Ansel Adams' darkroom - I felt like a real artist!

We even got the opportunity to spend some time exploring a few locations in the park to take photos, guided by Michael from the gallery who was an amazing guide and teacher.

I feel like I'm hooked on the process.

Below are some of my prints from the workshop.

I got to make a ton of prints. None of them are perfect, but I am ready for more practice!

It's really such a fun process that I can't wait to try again.
