Additional Information

In this one day tintype workshop participants will learn the history and basic practice of the 19th Century tintype process.

Each participant will complete the day with several tintypes created by their own hands. Students will receive a detailed handbook containing all the information they need to go on making tintypes on their own (materials, chemicals, recipes, techniques, troubleshooting, suppliers etc.)

Please bring objects to photograph on the day. Anything that ranges from 10cm to 80cm; bring toys, plants, old cameras, or interesting looking bits and bobs that you might want to photograph.

If you have your own 4x5 camera please let us know and you can bring it along.

Please wear closed toe shoes and clothes that you don't mind getting stained.
