Two one-day workshops, in the ongoing series of workshops on the

workshop deals specifically with the materials and processes involved in
the making of a daguerreotype.
Practicing daguerreotypist Ken Nelson will demonstrate the procedures
used in the making of a daguerreotype and, weather permitting, will
produce a daguerreotype image during the workshop. He will also provide
practical guidance to aspiring practitioners of this process as well as
information on suppliers of materials needed.
Grant Romer, Director of Conservation and Museum Studies, and a
practicing daguerreotypist, will discuss the history and preservation of
daguerreian images.
There will be hands-on participation at this workshop, including
polishing and fuming of the plate.
