Wayzgoose Printer’s Fair

We had a great time making Tintypes

What a great experience we had at the old-time Open House and Wayzgoose Printer’s Fair hosted by the Book Arts League and the Rocky Mountain Letterpress Society at the historic Ewing Farm in Lafayette. How motivating it was to see people of all ages checking out at the Printer's fair, printing on the Schneidewend & Lee platen press, putting hands on binding books, getting printed cards, posters, books, and taking part in the wet plate photography process. It was wonderful to have such an amazing crowd coming to witness some of those old techniques that resist the pass of time.

Special thanks to all of those who participated one way or another during that marvelous day, over all to our patrons and supporters who had a fun time posing for one of our tintypes. It was also, a lovely chance to reunite with friends and to meet with that many enthusiastic keepers of artistry and craftsmanship.

The Antique Photography Studio wants to awake desires to explore this antique photographic processes, to rise respect for those who made things by themselves, we want people to look forward to fulfill their dreams, we want to make people explode with enthusiasm. We want to create a future by opening a window through the past. Historic preservation is a priority topic. We do believe that the only way to build a future is by creating foundations on our own history. People only love those things they know.
