Here are some beautiful gum prints made by students in my Art Intersection gum workshop, April 9-10, 2016.

And these are images from my gum bichromate workshop, held in September, 2015, at the amazing Art Intersection.  To see more from this workshop, you can go here.  A great group of ten talented photographers who made the weekend so much fun.

"Diana Bloomfield is such a talented Gum Bichromate photographer!

As a teacher she is clear, concise, and very giving of her time. Diana provided a personally developed perspective and approach. She is very generous in time spent with each student. Here is a wonderful workshop!"
