It’s All Positive! The Wet-Plate Collodion Process
It’s All Positive! The Wet-Plate Collodion Process Two Day Workshop
Instructor: France Scully Osterman
In this two day class, students will learn to make wet-plate collodion ambrotypes both in-camera and with an enlarger.
The instructor will begin with a demonstration and then walk each student through the process to make a self-portrait and still-life using a large format period camera (provided).
Participants will also make ambrotypes and collodion photograms using transparencies, magic lantern slides or botanicals. Making collodion images without a camera is a particularly fun way to learn the process and gives participants a chance to play.
Included will be instructions on mixing chemicals, troubleshooting and a manual, “The Wet-Plate Process, A Working Guide,” by Mark Osterman.
(No equipment is necessary for this class. Photo Lab experience is helpful but not required. Good hand skills required.)
Class is limited to 8 participants
