The George Eastman Museum has announced its 2019 schedule of hands-on photography workshops, including a new series of one-day boot camps. In addition to the boot camp offerings, a variety of new workshops are being introduced this year, including Salted Paper Printing, Albumen Printing, Gelatin Chloride Printing-out Paper, and Collodion Micro-Photographs. For more information about the museum’s photography workshops, including details, pricing, and registration, visit eastman.org/workshops.
“The boot camps series includes five workshops that will be held on Saturdays to accommodate attendees who are unable to take time off of work to participate in a full workshop that typically take place during the week,” said Mark Osterman, process historian, George Eastman Museum. “The boot camps are more streamlined, but still offer people a chance to get hands-on instruction from our historic and alternative process experts and the opportunity to make their own photographs.”
