[alt-photo] Daguerreotype Workshop May 19-21, 2012 (Announcement)

[Rob McElroy]

If you are interested in learning how to make a mercury-developed daguerreotype safely and easily (without the need for tedious hand-buffing), I am teaching a three-day workshop at my studio in Buffalo, NY, May 19-21, 2012.

The hands-on workshop will allow each participant to perform all the necessary steps themselves (plate preparation, sensitizing, exposing, developing, gilding, archival sealing and framing), beginning with a bare piece of silver-plated copper, and finishing with their very own framed daguerreotype.

Here's a link to a printable version of the workshop announcement containing all the details:

Some candid photos from my last two workshops can be seen here:

The workshop is limited to six participants.

If you would like the workshop details sent directly to your email address in a non-PDF form, or if you would like to be informed about future daguerreotype workshops, please email me directly at the address below.  (Please note: your email address will not be shared with anyone else, at anytime, or for any reason.)
