Workshops
2013 UK WETPLATE COLLODION WORKSHOPS & DATES
Manchester workshops are held at my Manchester studio for a maximum of 4 students and cost £275. London workshops are held at Double Negative Darkroom, 178a Glyn Road, Hackney and will be taught with myself and Dr. Kate Horsley. London workshops are for a maximum of 6 students and cost £330.
I believe my workshops are the most comprehensive available in the UK and I provide full support to my students who wish to practice wetplate on their own. The workshops are held over two days and cover:
• Cameras and lenses (old and modern)
• Other equipment needed
• Chemistry, including health and safety
• Substrates: both traditional and contemporary such as glass, metal and acrylic
• Preparing, exposing, processing and finishing plates
You will be given a 30 page workshop manual.
Students will have the chance to make positive images on glass (ambrotypes), metal (tintypes) and acrylic (acrylotypes?!) plates of different sizes using a variety of cameras and lenses.
I supply collodion kits and silverboxes to students at a 10% discount. (No discount on silver nitrate).
There are several hotels in Manchester at varying prices and this one http://diamondlodge.co.uk is close to my studio. I can pick up and drop off students from Manchester Airport, Piccadilly Railway Station and hotels. On street parking is available outside the studio during weekends.
The nearest bed and breakfast to Double Negative Darkroom in Hackney, London is http://russellsofclapton.com/ which I highly recommend but book early as this is a popular place.
