FAQ about K2

Do I need previous experience?

Yes, you should be able to pour, sensitize and develop plates confidently. K1 is the right foundation.

Can I print the negatives on paper afterwards?

Yes, in the P2 Salt & albumen course or at home with the handout.

How long is the course?

One to two days, depending on whether paper prints are included. On the first day I explain the negative process, and you photograph and develop your glass negatives. The second day is all about prints: preparing salt paper and printing. Everyone makes at least two prints.

What if I have to cancel?

Up to 7 days before the course you get a full refund, after that half. If you cancel less than 48 hours before, no refund is possible.
