NEW Collodion Workshops with Will Dunniwa

Greetings ~ Will Dunniway here. I am new to the APUG Forum, but not to
the art of wet plate collodion. I have been practicing in this craft since
1990 and just recently have begun to teach this skill in wet plate
collodion workshops across the country. The workshops in Corona are for
2 days and the New York and Montana workshops, 4 days. I know there a
lot of teachers these days, but thought maybe some of you might be
interested in what I have to teach given almost 18 years in the field
working with this wet plate collodion process. For inquiries email me at:
silverandsun@mac.com, or go to my web site. http://www.collodion-
artist.com for more information.
On my web page, the workshop schedule is being revised. The following
is the latest. Thanks, and just maybe I will be hearing from a few of
you>>>Will

Students will learn the making of ambrotypes (glass direct positives) and
tintypes. (Ferrotypes, tin plate direct positives) Students are guided
through the process step-by-step from the mixing, pouring, exposing
