With more and more on-line sites offering self-publishing services, it can be overwhelming to research which sites are credible, user friendly and right for your specific project.

Lith Printing presented by Gene Nocon A hands-on workshop sponsored by Freestyle Photographic.

If we do it right we'll end up with a grainy print with dark shadows and delicate highlights, a beautiful, one-of-a-kind piece of art! Learn Lith Printing, a wonderful and fascinating alternative darkroom technique from Master Printmaker Gene Nocon.
