What is it?
This two-day workshop is a brief introduction to darkroom navigation for those with interest in experimenting with film photography and darkroom processes. Over the two days we will cover basics of these facilities including: darkroom safety, b&w negative development, photographic printing, and scanning.

Bringing some pre-shot rolls of black and white film is encouraged as this is what will be used to demonstrate the processes. If you don’t have access to a camera for this to be possible, no worries.

Session 1: Health and safety ,chemical prep, negative development and handling, scanning.
Session 2: Printing on photographic paper using an enlarger, developing and fixing images.
