Tintype Workshops
Create your very own tintype portrait! These workshops are geared to take the student thru the steps to hand craft tintypes. We discuss the chemical requirements for collodion photography as well as the different lighting techniques and camera essentials needed to make a successful plate.

| "Jen Jansen’s tintype workshop was a great opportunity to learn the ancient art of making photographs using the wet collodion process. The photographs created with this process are capable of capturing very fine detail while achieving a distinctive eerie, mysterious beauty. The look and feel of the tintypes created in this workshop can’t be matched by any other photographic process; analog or digital. Jen has a fully equipped studio and she provides all the help necessary for workshop attendees to successfully develop tintypes on their own. I would recommend this workshop to photographers, artists and anyone interested in creating unique beauty with their own hands." - Jacinto Berrios Mechanical Design Engineer, Hewlett-Packard Company |
