The Photo Gilding Intro Kit for Darkroom Processes

​Making photographic exploration easy, fun, affordable and hassle-free is one of Dan’s life passions. From Making Digital Negatives (in 1994) to iPhone Artistry (2012), to teaching the workshop Inkjet Printing in an Alternate Universe, Dan strives to help ambitious photographers embrace new and exciting ways to capture and express the photographic image.
 
Continuing with this emphasis on creative playfulness and education, Dan now offers a new way to enter the enchanting world of gilded prints on translucent vellum. Instead of digging through Amazon and the web, you can now purchase pre-organized kits that provide all the parts of the gilding puzzle in one, convenient box.
