Alt Process Class

I'll be taking an alternative process photography class in about a week and a half. If I understand correctly, the majority of the focus is on cyanotypes and utilizing liquidlight on hand coated papers. Then, we are to build a body of work using one of the processes we have learned about.

I am hoping to be able to use wet plate in the class to make glass negatives in order to print large format rather than forking out the money for 11x14 film, as that just isn't a possibility, monetarily. I am hoping to focus on whole-plate size prints, since it would be cheaper to get the 6.5"x8.5" glass cut instead of getting 11x14 glass.

I have only been practicing with tintypes so far, not ambrotypes/glass negatives, so I want to get some practice in before the class starts.
