The workshops are part of a larger project, "On the Way to Identity", being carried out across Lower Silesia. The workshops will take place on Tuesday at CIK Orzeł from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Places are limited to twelve participants; applications will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. The workshops will be led by Michał Sitkiewicz and Paweł Sierakowski.
Registration is available from Monday to Friday, from 8:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., at the BOK-MCC secretariat.
The wet-plate collodion technique was invented by Frederic Scott Archer in the mid-19th century. Wet-plate collodion has two variants: negative (a negative image on transparent glass, which can be copied onto light-sensitive paper) and positive (a positive image on a glass support). A characteristic feature of wet-plate collodion is that the entire process must be completed within 20 minutes; after that time, further chemical processing is not possible.
