Tutorials
I offer personal and group hands-on instruction in my Toronto studio. Tutorials are either two or three days covering any topic related to the state of the art, including polishing, bromine acceleration, gilding, tinting and housing methods if desired. Students make several daguerreotypes during the lessons that they are free to take away.
The tutorial fee is $1000.00 per day, all inclusive, for instructions plates and materials.
