WHAT BETTER HOLIDAY GIFT FOR THAT SPECIAL ARTIST IN YOUR LIFE THAN A WORKSHOP WITH THE CENTRAL VALLEY PROJECT?
?
With the recent surge in interest in analogue photography, especially wet-plate collodion, workshops are popping up faster than new cafés in Neukölln (apologies for that reference to those outside Berlin). Or as Mark Osterman, one of the recognised pioneers of the ‘alternative’ photography revival, so eloquently noted – you can’t swing a dead cat these days without hitting a wet-plate collodion instructor.
?
If you’re looking for more than just the basics in techniques such as wet-plate collodion, albumen, salted paper or cyanotype printing, sign up (or purchase a gift card) for one of our group or private workshops. With over 16 years’ experience teaching these techniques through numerous schools, institutions and private workshops in the US and Europe (including the Maine College of Art, Photographer’s Formulary and PhotowerkBerlin, to name a few), you’ll learn not only the chemistry, craft and methods behind the techniques, but also how to adapt modern equipment for use, and most importantly—especially with wet-plate collodion—troubleshooting and working with both natural and artificial light.
?
Already familiar with the wet-plate collodion technique? We also offer advanced collodion workshops focusing on glass negatives (redevelopment and intensification), opal types and orotones, hand tinting and burnishing, and working ‘in the field’ away from a studio darkroom. Workshops can also be tailored to personal interests.
