The gallery acquisitions of Gold Street Studios reflects the hand made traditional photographic processes offered in the workshops, holding photographs from recognised Australian and International photographic artists.
Running from Thursday 18 August to Sunday 21 August, undergraduate, honours and post graduate students, together with Photomedia staff, will participate in workshops exploring processes such as Tin Types, Carbon Printing, Wet Plate Collodion and Salt Prints. These historical photo processes are being rediscovered by contemporary artists across the world.
This innovative series of masterclasses is funded by a travel scholarship awarded to Bachelor of Fine Art (Honours) student, Ryan Fitzgerald. Ryan was enthusiastic to share these processes with other Fine Art students and invited Gold Street Studios to the University of Newcastle. Along with 4 days of intensive instruction in the workshops, Gold Street Studios will present an exhibition of images from their gallery detailing these processes.
The support in sponsoring the visit by Gold Street Studios by the School of Creative Arts is anticipated to become an annual event highlighting and fostering industry partnerships.
