We are now able to announce the upcoming wet collodion workshops led by Joaquín Paredes at our studio in Cáceres:
Introductory workshop on March 21 and 22 on the Analog Inside website. Only 6 spots available!
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, if we have not finished explaining and preparing the chemicals, we will finish doing so first thing in the morning. Next, we will begin the practical exercises, answering questions and correcting mistakes as we make the plates. Normally, throughout the workshop, each student will make between two and three 4×5″ plates on glass and aluminum and one 8×10″ (20x25cm) plate to take home.
