<p style="color:rgb(28,29,29);font-family:'Open Sans', HelveticaNeue, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;">The Wetplate Weekend introduces us to the wonderful world of wet plate photography, also known as ambrotype. David Puntel will demonstrate the technique at his Central Valley Project studio in Berlin-Treptow. We will learn all the steps involved in the wet plate technique, working with various cameras, different formats (4x5"/5x7"/8x10") and historical lenses, with which we will capture our impressions on these unique ambrotypes.
<p style="color:rgb(28,29,29);font-family:'Open Sans', HelveticaNeue, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;">This intensive course is also suitable for beginners with no prior photographic experience and is limited to 4 participants. Drinks and all materials required to produce approx. 10 wet plates, which participants can take home with them, are included in the price.

The workshop includes instruction in all steps of the process, from the chemistry involved and glass preparation to troubleshooting and creating your own unique images.
