I got this in a PDF flier today ...so far there doesn't seem to be anything else about it on the web.
Ron Mowrey to teach Emulsion Making and Coating
Kodak may be moving away from making photographic paper, but
that doesn’t mean you can’t make your own. Especially when you
can learn to make both contact and enlarging paper emulsions from
a man who helped develop emulsions for Kodak during its heyday.
Ron Mowrey is a former engineer for Kodak. While he won’t be giving
away any trade secrets, he will show you how you can make
your own emulsions, and how you can coat your own papers for
both contact printing and enlarging papers.
You will also learn how to make a slow camera speed (ISO ~25) emulsion
and prepare and expose a paper negative. This workshop will
open up your photographic world in directions you never dreamed of.
Ron’s workshop will also include doctoring and doping emulsions
with special chemicals to adjust curve shape, speed and coat ability.
Take this workshop and Ron will show you how to produce a
contact paper similar to Azo, in
grades of 1, 2 and 3, and a grade
1 and 2 enlarging speed paper.
If that isn’t enough, use a new
hand-coating blade similar to
those used in the Research
Labs at Eastman Kodak. This
blade will allow you to create
near production quality hand
coatings up to 8x10" in size. It
will dramatically improve the
coating quality obtainable for
silver halide coatings over
what you can now do using
puddle pushers or paintbrushes.
