It was a real treat having Riverwest photographer Amber Ascher bring her traveling tintype to The Polish Flat for our April vintage market (which also happened to be the busiest market we've ever had!!) A truly magical experience seeing how an 1800's tintype camera worked and how engaged the community was. One person even wore her grandmother's vintage wedding dress for her portrait ๐Ÿฅฒ

If you missed out on one of the sold-out custom portrait slots, we hope to have Amber back again in the future for more tintype photo sessions-- stay tuned for announcements! We'll cherish our own tintype portraits taken in front of The Flat forever โค๏ธ
