Jan 2009 Los Angeles Workshop

January Wet-Plate Collodion  Photography Workshops offered Jan 17-18

in Los Angeles.

 

Photographer/Educator Allan Barnes announces two Wet Plate Collodion  workshops

in Los Angeles. The dates are: January 17-18, and the workshops

will be held at the POVevolving Gallery and Print Studio,  939 Chung King Road in Chinatown.  (zip code 90012).

These are weekend workshops that run from 10am to 6pm each day.

 

Participants will be trained in using glass and metal plates to make Ambrotypes,

Tintypes and Glass Negatives.  All aspects of the process, from plate preparation to plate

 display will be covered.

 

Participants will use several plate cameras and chemistry to make their own imagery.

 

Included in the workshops are the use of chemistry, materials and large format cameras,

as well as a take home “how to” book.

 

The cost of the two day workshop is 350.00, including materials.

 

There has been a significant revival in the use of this historical photographic process,

which was widely used from the 1850’s to the 1880’s.

 Fine Art photographers such as Sally Mann and Robert Maxwell have been using the

process for both gallery and commercial work.
