Gelatin Dry plate (1 day) £245.00.
This workshop looks at the dry plate process, from creation through ISO and developing. I supply cut glass for both the workshop and for you to use after the workshop (either Holga or 5x4).
One of my favourite processes. Learn to create your own glass plates negatives for use in large format cameras of cameras such as Holgas and old box cameras. This workshops explores the possibilities and beauty of this long forgotten process. We go through everything from glass cutting to coating to development and care for your glass plates. The resulting plates can then be scanned or traditionally printed.

The paper negative process is a fantastic and forgiving insight into the possibilities of analogue photography and many of the issues that affect this process underpin many aspects of analogue photography.
The joy of the paper negative process is that development takes minutes so you can shoot and develop your negative and then make a contact print all within five minutes so it is a great learning tool.
