Photography is by definition an act of time travel, but the wet plate collodion process adds a unique and creative aspect to modern practice. In this one-day workshop with artist Rashod Taylor, participants will explore making 4x5 tintypes and the history of the medium. Whether new to the process or looking to hone your wet plate skills, this workshop is a great fit for anyone interested in early processes and hand-crafted photography. Through hands-on learning, participants will spend the majority of the day making portraits and wet plates and getting comfortable with the process.
The wet plate collodion process was first introduced in the 1850’s. It’s a process that requires tin, glass, or photographic medium to be coated, sensitized, exposed, and developed within about fifteen minutes. If working in the field, it requires a portable darkroom for development. Though the overall experience can be delicate and cumbersome, it renders each plate a one-of-a-kind art piece.
This workshop is limited to 10 participants.
