Will Dunniway announces 2008 Collodion Workshops

[Will Dunniway]

Greetings ~ 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 Montana workshop, 4 days. My experience credentials to teach this all but lost 19th century process is my 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

The basic course description:

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 and development of plates poured with wet collodion. The newest edition now is 4 color of the manual, Making the Wet Collodion Plate in 16 Steps manual by Will Dunniway is included along with all materials in the course fee. Students will use a period 1860 field camera with 1860-70 lenses. Workshop features 2 days of intensive hands-on training in the making of ambrotypes, ferrotypes (tintypes), and glass plate negatives. Each student will make and take home a self-portrait/still life tintype/ambrotypes. All materials and equipment provided.

Great workshop

For anyone who wants to truely learn how to work in the Wetplate Collodion tradition this will be the best class that you will ever take. Will Dunniway is a master at this process with many years of practical field experience and he is a great teacher too. He is generous with his time and alway willing to answer questions and help his students. He has taught a great number of well known photographers how to work with wetplate and adapt it to their own working style.

Will's work is stunning and will really inspire his students.
