Intro to Wetplate Workshop

Join David Emitt Adams for this introductory three-day workshop on the collodion process with metal as a substrate. In this workshop participants will work with large-format 8x10 cameras using studio and natural light to create unique images in the traditions of portraiture, still life, and landscape. Participants will gain in-depth knowledge of the chemistry (mixing, replenishing, and caring for it), coating and sensitizing plates, exposure, and development. Participants may bring their own camera otherwise cameras and equipment will be supplied by COMO. All levels, no prior experience needed.
