One-day Daguerreotype Workshop with Mike Robinson
The f295 organization is hosting a “Symposium on lensless, Alternative, and Adaptive Photographic Processes” April 26-29 2007 in Pittsburgh, PA.
Among other interesting and not-so interesting features is a rather expensive one-day workshop with daguerreotypist Mike Robinson hosted by the Daguerreian Society. Mike works in a fairly traditional 19th century fashion and he will be demonstrating the mercury development process. Participants get to make and take their very own authentic daguerreotype at the end of the session.

You commented a while back on my blog and I never got back to you. Great blog. Thanks so much for tipping me off to this - I’ve really wanted to try the mercury process so I’m going to go, but I will definitely want to come down to NC at some point to try the Becquerel (my family lives in Raleigh) - possibly in the fall. I will contact you for prices/schedule. Keep up the good work - love the Nordstroms daguerreotype - whoever thought those two words could go together?!
Hi Jonathan,
Wow, I haven’t checked your blog in a few weeks. I’m really glad I finally did check. Thanks a million for this blog entry about the Dag Workshop in Pittsburgh. I have been wanting to go to an alt. process workshop for years; the Dag society giving one is the perfect for me. I have wanted an excuse to go to the Dag Soc for a long while; I REALLLLY REALLLLY want to learn the Daguerreotype process; and it’s in good ole Pittsburgh, one of my favorite cities.
I am really stoked about this!
Peace,
Brad
Jason Motamedi is teaching a couple of four-day workshops this summer in NJ. In June he will be teaching the Becquerel method and in July he’ll be teaching the mercury method. Check out my latest journal entry about it.
Thanks for the comment on the Nordstrom’s dag! It’s swiftly becoming a favorite around my circle too.
