7. 19th Century Wet Plate Collodion Photography
August 10-11 ( 2 Days) :: $475.00 Fee :: Limit of 10 Students
During the mid to late 19th century the art and industry of the photograph was in a constant state of improvements and refinements. After the introduction of the Daguerrotype in 1839 new methods to improve on the reliability and cost of making photographs were being discovered. One of those improvements came in 1857 with the introduction of the Wet Plate Collodion process. This process offered a cheaper and less toxic method of producing a photograph and also offered the photographer the ability to make multiple paper prints from a single negative. With the introduction of the Wet Plate Collodion process photography, the photographic industry really began to spread to all corners of the globe.
Students will learn the making of ambrotypes (glass direct positives) and tintypes (Ferrotypes, tin plate direct positives), and glass negatives. Students are guided through the process step-by-step from the mixing, pouring, exposing and development of plates poured with wet collodion. The newest edition of the manual, Making the Wet Collodion Plate in 16 Steps by Will Dunniway is included in the 2 day workshop.
Collodion Masters, Claude Levet and Will Dunniway are nationally renowned artists who have both been working with the Wet Plate Collodion process since its current revival in 1988. Both studied under and worked with Master Collodion artist John Coffer in upstate New York.
