For those interested in learning the wet-plate colodion process, which includes, ambrotypes, tintypes, and collodion negatives, I'll be conducting a 5 day workshop at The Peter's Valley Craft Center in New Jersey, August 5-9.
I'll also be holding individual and group workshops and my New York City studio beginning in May.
I've been teaching Wet-Plate for the past few years in my Antiquarian Processes course at Parsons School of Design, here in NYC and I've never seen students more excited about photography than when they see a collodion image emerge in the fixing bath; it truly is remarkable.
You can view some of my recent studio work online at PDN's Photoserve portal:
