To book a pop-up, we will need to know:  

• If there will be access to water and electricity

• Promotional information for social media posts

​

Please keep in mind: 

• Two hours must be available for set up. 

• Breakdown will take roughly 1 hour. 

• Walk-ins can be available between scheduled appointments time depending. 

• Making a tintype takes about 20 minutes, so participants will book one 20-minute time slot for each portrait.

• Arrangements must be made before the event about returning the plates to the customers. It can take anywhere between 1-4 days to wax and complete them.
