- Take time to plan what exactly it is you are going to draw into the Soot or Ink.
- Test both soot and ink processes before you make your final piece.

1- Take your Cliche-Verre into the darkroom.
2- Step up the chemical trays. You will need to mix Developer (1:9), Stop (1:19) and Fixer (1:4) to the right amount of liquid you need eg- 1l, 2l etc.
3- Sandwich the photographic paper between the enlarging table and the glass panel with the Cliché-Verre on it.
4- Expose for desired amount of time and follow the regular printing process.

1-  decide if you are using ink or soot from a flame. If you decide on Soot you will need to use a sheet of GLASS. If you choose to use Ink, then use a sheet of PLASTIC.
2- using your chosen material cover it with Ink/hold it over a flame to create an even layer of soot.
3- once the desired area is covered, use an appropriate tool to remove the desired Soot/Ink until you are happy with your design. This could include cotton buds, cocktail sticks & etchers.

Cliché-Verre is a 19th century technique that uses sheets of glass (or plastic) covered with soot from a burning candle or ink and then removing areas of the soot or ink to create a print- that when printed is either abstract or deliberately artistic.

test strips are essential to determine how long you should expose your image for. after the test strip i decided on 8 seconds.

This attempt was somewhat unsuccessful as the image was underexposed, so it had a 'foggy' effect on it.

This was more successful as i exposed the image for a few seconds longer

this is an intentionally artistic piece, that has been planned and thought out- something that I will be incorporating into my own Cliché-Verre

this is more of an abstract print
