IT'S ALL POSITIVES! - Two day Workshop in Pittsburgh - May 31-June1

In this class, students will learn to make wet-plate collodion ambrotypes both in-camera and with an enlarger. France will begin with a demonstration and then walk each student through the process to make a self-portrait and still-life using a large format period camera (provided).

Participants will also make ambrotypes and collodion photograms using transparencies, magic lantern slides or botanicals. Making collodion images without a camera is a particularly fun way to learn the process and gives participants a chance to play.
