Intro to Wet Plate Photography Workshop with Sam Dole
Presented by Penumbra Foundation
This workshop is a comprehensive
look at the collodion process and its
effective practice by the modern-day
photographer. The predominate mode
of photography from its invention in
the early 1850's to its fall from
prominence at the turn of the century,
the collodion process was a relatively
fast and inexpensive means of getting
a direct to positive photograph on
demand (thus the image was a mirror
image, reversed horizontally). Its
practitioners effectively make their
own film through the coating of a
glass sheet or metal plate with the
collodion substrate, sensitizing it in a
solution of silver nitrate and exposing
this plate in-camera while still wet,
hence its common moniker “wet plate”.
Thus, the collodion process represents
a highly sustainable form of emulsion-
based photographic expression in the
21st century as the future of silver
gelatin-based film risks fading into
obscurity with more and more
companies discontinuing their popular
emulsions on a routine basis. Students
will learn how to coat, sensitize,
expose, develop and varnish their own
plates over the course of the weekend,
gaining valuable hands-on experience
while learning the theory and
fundamentals necessary to apply the
process to their own work.

DAMION SILVER and SCOTTY ALBRECHT
Presented by Colab Projects
Colab is pleased to present "Wood and Pulp," a two person exhibition by Damion Silver and Scotty Albrecht. "Wood and Pulp" features new bodies of artwork, including collage, assemblages, and works on paper. The artists' works share an intricate use of found objects and carefully wrought wood and paper.
Silver and Albrecht both have backgrounds rooted in design as well as influences and techniques derived from traditions of crafting by hand. While there are strong commonalities in the artists' processes, "Wood and Pulp" demonstrates distinct approaches in their use of material and the resulting forms.
