Penumbra has been making tintypes at Photoville for over a decade. Considered by many to be the Polaroid of the 19th century, the tintype is made almost instantaneously through a process that uses hand poured chemicals on an enameled sheet of metal. Guests can sign up to have their portrait made through this historical process and will walk away that day with their own unique heirloom.
