What Does Resinotype Look Like?

Resinotype produces unique, tactile prints full of depth, grain, and character. No two are ever quite the same. 
Photographic process is quite similar to Rawlin's oil print technique, but instead of negative the positive is used and in the final phase we use powder pigments for image cration.

 

In the short video below, you can see the final stage of the process – pigmenting the print. Fascinating to watch, isn’t it?

 

Each layer of pigment brings the image to life in a way that feels more like painting than printing – this is where the magic truly happens.

Who It’s For:

This video workshop is designed for photographers, printmakers, and artists with a passion for hands-on processes and the alchemy of image-making. Whether you're new to historical printing or already familiar with alternative photographic techniques, you'll find this course both enriching and accessible.

 

Some prior experience with alternative processes may be helpful, but it is by no means essential — curiosity, patience, and a willingness to experiment are the only real requirements.
