Some folks might wonder about the level of hazardous chemicals that we use to make dry plates. If, like me, you are not willing or able to do this, you can still make great images with your own emulsions and have fun doing it. Willing to work in laboratory conditions and use stringent process control. The batch-to-batch variations that you get with making your own emulsions can be minimized, if you are That go into each attempted photo, from inspiration to finished image that one should roll with the punches and not always try toĬontrol things too much. You are just more likely to have a greater variance between emulsion batches.Ĭontrary to what the “Zonies and Techies” will have you think, photography is not an exact science. If you have a relaxed sense of process control, or work on the “kitchen” table, You want consistency between plates, you need to maintain a higher-than-normal level of “process control” and lab cleanliness. Like most of the historic (alt) processes, making glass plates has many process steps, during any of which things can go wrong. If you are going to use the plate for an enlarged negative or lanternslide, all you need to do is to have the store cut single strength glass to the size you want to enlarge to.
Since the making of a dry plate will require a number of different skills, it does not, in my opinion, lend itself to a simple single-day workshop, so this two-day workshop was designed. Of what I call “kitchen table chemistry”. Mentioned as a note or in the Appendix, as are discussions and outcomes from the winter ’06 workshop sessions.

Just so everyone is on the right page, this workshop will be about making “Dry Plates”, which includes learning how to
