About the Instructor
Judit German-Heins has been using the wet-plate collodion process for her art and activism since 2017. She studied photography at the Photography Institute in London, and at workshops conducted by the Houston Center for Photography, the International Center of Photography, the Penumbra Foundation, and the Eastman Museum. In 2019, German-Heins won first place at the Julia Margaret Cameron Awards for her tintype series “Women of Faith.” Her article “Tintype Portraits: A 19th Century Process Documents 21st Century Society,” published in The Big Photo Zine in 2018, describes how she used tintypes in two projects to document refugees and covered women.
Please join CPW every Saturday in January to explore various photographic techniques featured throughout its IBM Tech City-based exhibition, Parallel Lives. Using the spacious backdrop of over 150 photographic works as inspiration, CPW welcomes art lovers of all ages to join in learning new processes, discovering new work, and spending time with friends and family. All activities are free, but please RSVP. Beverages and light snacks will be provided.
