Wetplate Collodion

Rob Norton

Travel back to the mid-1800s and experience the magic in making tintypes and ambrotypes! Led by Rob Norton, this is an intensive, hands-on workshop participants will learn to make tintypes, ambrotypes, or glass negatives (all three can be done if desired). Participants will learn how to safely mix chemical formulas, pour, expose/develop their plates; through an enlarger instead of a camera!

Darkroom experience is preferred. Bring slides if you have them (negatives do not work for this process). Remember the enlarger will become your camera!

Rob Norton is a Toronto-based artist/photographer whose personal creative work embraces several art disciplines, from film and video to collage and painting. Currently, Rob is the Historical Process instructor for the Image Arts Program at Ryerson University.

Gallery 44 acknowledges that it is situated on stolen land. On the ancestral and traditional territories of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, the Haudenosaunee, the Anishinaabe and the Huron-Wendat, who are the original owners and custodians of this land that they continue to inhabit today.

Acknowledging the land on which we work and create is an important first step towards truth and reconciliation, however, much more needs to be done by settlers, by our government, and by us as arts practitioners to educate ourselves and others, and to endeavor to end ongoing colonial violence.

During this global pandemic, it is important to acknowledge that Indigenous communities in Canada continue to live under increasingly inequitable conditions.
