Silver Soups - Alternative Image-Making Workshop is a creative workshop introducing participants to “film soup,” an experimental approach to developing photographic film. The technique uses different ingredients to alter negatives and produce controlled abstract effects.
Rather than focusing on conventional film development, the workshop examines how physical changes to a negative can become part of the image-making process. Participants are introduced to the central film soup technique and the role that selected ingredients play in changing the resulting photographic material.
What the workshop explores
The programme focuses on three connected aspects of alternative image-making:
- Experimental film development: Exploring a process outside standard film-development methods
- Altered negatives: Using different ingredients to change the photographic film
- Abstract results: Applying the process to produce controlled visual effects
The workshop may therefore be relevant to visitors interested in experimental photography, analogue processes or creative approaches to producing images.
