For Artists & Practitioners

Learn the
silver process.

Twenty-five years of wet plate collodion experience, distilled into in-person workshops, private video coaching, and focused troubleshooting sessions. Whether you're brand new to the process or chasing a specific defect across a hundred plates, there's a way in below.

Workshops

Learn the wet plate process in person.

Hands-on workshops covering pouring, silver bath chemistry, exposure, development, fixing, and varnishing. Limited seats — bring your camera or borrow one of Chris's.

Private Zoom / FaceTime

1:1 coaching from anywhere.

Book a private video call with Chris. Walk through your setup, review plates, ask the questions you can't find answers to online. Great for artists who've started the process and hit a wall.

Troubleshooting

Stuck on a problem? Let's solve it.

Focused sessions for working through specific issues — fogging, streaks, comet tails, dead silver baths, exposure problems. Bring photos of your plates and your chemistry notes.
