Various workshops that have been held, and will be held in the future:
- Ambrotypes
- Daguerreotypes
- Cyanotype/blueprint
- Gum prints
- Albumen paper
- Salt paper
The workshopswill give you knowledge about:
- the historical background of the technique
- necessary materials
- tools and knowledge required to produce a photograph in this 19th century technique
- experiment with the materials used
- master the basic skills to produce this technique
No prior knowledge is needed to participate in these courses, apart from an interest in historical photographic techniques and perhaps some interest in photographic craft work.
Lectures and demonstrations are held by Preus Museum's photo conservator and PhD candidate Jens Gold. The workshop is held in the Preus museum's conservation department, and both exhibitions and the library are visited during the course.
Each workshop comes with a binder with useful information relevant to the course content.
