This intensive one day workshop will give you an introduction and hands-on experience in the wet collodion photographic process. Using 19th century technology, participants will learn the process of sensitising plates, correct exposure and development. The wet collodion process was developed in the early 1850s by Frederick Scott Archer  and can be applied to a variety of substrates. Participants in the workshops will create their own Tintype wet collodion plates on black aluminium and the process of varnishing will also be demonstrated and can be applied.

Participants in this workshop will be working working with dangerous chemicals and strict safety protocols must be adhered to.

Previous experience using large format cameras and lenses is highly recommended. If you have any concerns, please discuss this with us prior to enrollment.
