Workshop: Wetplate Collodion Tintype with Phillip England

In this workshop you will learn all aspects of producing a wetplate collodion tintype: preparing the plate, setting up the camera, lighting the subject, developing the tintype and varnishing the finished plate. You will learn the basics of the chemistry behind the process and equip yourself with the knowledge required to make up your own reagents from scratch.

Phillip England (a.k.a. Tasmanian Tintype) has been making tintypes for eight years and has established himself as a sought after after tintype portrait photographer based in the Salamanca Arts Centre, Hobart. A selection of his portraits can be seen here.
