I got a kindly donation of some wet plate chemistry and gear from a local artist yesterday. The package included some silver nitrate, some varnish, 4x5 tin type plates, a 4x5 silver tank an adapted 35mm camera (for 35mm tin types) plus most importantly a John Coffer wet plate manual with 3 instructional DVDs!!!
The Coffer instructional stuff is especially valuable as Coffer is a wet plate pioneer with lots of knowledge that will help me on with the project. Some of his instruction might prove invaluable for AMBROTOS KANATA. The Silver and varnish will also be used. I need to repair the 4x5 tank which I can use with the future wet plate workshop students.
It was a good day! THANK YOU ANN FOR YOUR KINDNESS
