Tintype Studio - Save the Date!

Patrick Andrade of Relic Fine Art visited my classroom today to help me set up the tintype studio. I took a tintype workshop from Patrick in the fall, and was so inspired, I knew that I had to bring it to Littleton High School! With the generosity from the Littleton Public Schools Foundation, LHS received a grant to fund the tintype project. Patrick Andrade will visit our classroom on March 23rd, and you will learn how to create tintypes! I'm so excited to be facilitating this opportunity! Stay tuned for more!

Today we were able to successfully create a tintype. I had four unsuccessful tries by myself, and one "just OK" tintype before the one I'm including in this post. A lot of problem-solving was involved, and there will be much more problem-solving to do! This tintype is far from perfect, and we will work together to improve our technique.

Newborn Portraits

This weekend I had the honor of taking newborn portraits for a family that I used to work with. I created the portraits for their second child, and was very excited to meet the newest member of the family! If you are interested in starting a photography business, or even just taking portraits of loved ones, please do inquire in class. I'm happy to help!

Tintype Studio! Coming Soon!

The art department applied for, and received, an award from the LPS Foundation to set up a Tintype Studio at LHS. Photography students will learn about the history of photography, and how to create tintype photographs. Patrick Andrade, from Relic Fine Art, will be visiting LHS on March 23rd, during 4th period. This hands-on learning opportunity is certain to inspire!
