tintypes. Special attention to selecting subject

basic skills, this workshop is a great fit for fine
art photographers, educators and anyone else
interested in the evolution of photography.
MEDIA & TECHNIQUES: How to cut and clean
glass plates; coating glass and metal plates
with collodion; sensitizing, exposure, several

chemicals and troubleshooting.

creation of images.
