9am-5pm
$450
Aperture's Burden Gallery, 20 East 23rd Street at Madison Avenue

This is a 2-day workshop designed to help the novice get started in
wet-plate photography as an active hobby or for professional artistic
purposes.
Each student will make his or her own ambrotype and ferrotype (tintype).
Emphasis will be on doing the wet-plate process with portable equipment in
the field. All equipment, chemicals and materials will be provided for the
workshop. Safety will be stressed when working with the chemistry.
However, if you are especially sensitive to chemicals, this is not the
workshop for you.
Equipment options and sources for chemicals and supplies will be thoroughly
presented and discussed. Each student will receive the 140 page, fully
illustrated workshop manual, łThe Doers Guide to Wet-Plate Photography˛ upon
receipt of a $145 deposit towards the tuition fee and confirmation of your
enrollment. Students are requested to read the manual thoroughly before
arriving at the workshop. The final payment of $305 must be paid prior to
the commencement of the class.
Class will start at 9:00am, break for lunch, and will end at 5:00pm. Class
size will be limited to 6 students only.
Instructor John Coffer has been doing wet-plate photography professionally
for twenty years. He has conducted workshops for over five years.
Wet-plate photography is a process developed in the 19th century, and
requires good hand eye coordination, much practice and commitment. Like
the marines only a few good men and women fill the ranks of the order of
collodion. Be all you can be in real photography. Do wet plate!
