Wetplate collodion workshops are held over two days at my studio in Manchester. Workshops are for a maximum of four people. The workshops 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.
