The historic wet collodion process from 1851 was one of the original processes used by early photographers. Learn how to flow, expose, and develop a 5x4 plate (glass & tin), in a friendly, small group (max 6) environment, with Lens Lab Leeds and Aire Street Darkrooms.
During this one day workshop you will have the opportunity to try out both glass and tin plates, to make collodion positives (Tintypes & Ambrotypes), using a 5x4 camera. All chemistry and equipment will be provided, and you will be able to take home your washed and finished plates at the end of the day. Working in pairs the workshop will focus on portraiture, but other subjects could also be explored.
This introductory workshop is suitable for anyone with an interest in photography. Lunch and refreshments will be included. Tickets are on a first come first serve basis.
Discretionary discounts are available on request for those on benefits (please contact us directly for details).
