Ambrotype (from Greek ἀμβροτός — “immortal”, and τύπος — “impression”) is one of the oldest positive photography techniques, used since 1851. It allows creating one unique image, without the option of making extra prints. Considering the picture can last undamaged for as long as 180 years, such a portrait will be a cherished memento for many generations!

Calotype, aka talbotype, is an early photographic process introduced in 1839 by William Henry Fox Talbot. The workshop participants will make their own photographic paper using gelatin, citric acid, silver nitrate, and watercolour paper. They will then expose the paper to UV light to create a print featuring Lublin.
