We can already announce the dates for the next wet plate collodion workshop by Joaquin Paredes in our studio in Cáceres:
Introductory workshop on November 7-8 on the Analog Inside page Only 6 places!
You can book your place through our website: Introduction to wet plate collodion workshop
This is a two-day workshop (10-14h and 16-20h). You will adquire the skills you need to start working with the wet plate collodion process with enough security and ability. After the workshop, the students will be able to make plates on their own and also have enough knowdle to solve the mayority of the problems they will encounter.
We never teach one-day collodion workshops. There is no time to cover a minimum knowledge to get started in a process like this, or at least, that is our point of view. You don't need any previous knowledge about large format photogtaphy or darkroom skills. It is always helpfull if the student has used large format cameras before, but will start from scratch during the workshop. The schedule is Saturday and Sunday from 10:00 - 14:00 h and 16:00 - 20:00 h.
The students (6 max) will work in pairs and they will have a complete laboratory set available for each group.
- During the first morning we will learn the function of every chemical which we will use in the process. We will learn how to handle and store safely all of them and we will prepare all the solutions for the workshop. If there is enough time, we will make the first demonstration of the process.
- In the afternoon, we will finish preparing the chemicals (in case we hadn't finished). Then we will start shooting plates. Doubts will be solved and mistakes will be corrected as we make plates. Usually, during the workshop, each student makes between four and five 4×5″ plates on glass and aluminium and one 8×10″ plate (20x25cm).
- During the last afternoon, we will be making the last plates and we will try that everyone makes the same amount of plates. We will solve the last doubts and you will see how a 11×14″ (28x36cm) portrait is made which we will draw among the students.
