Black and White Darkroom Experience – Saturday Workshop

A one-day experience – from capture to hand-printing, using professional darkrooms and printing processes that have been fundamental to artistic and journalistic photography for over 150 years. The day will be taught by an experienced tutor who will instruct and guide you through all the stages of this artisan process.

During the morning, you will learn how to load 35mm film, how to achieve correct exposures using basic camera functions and techniques to achieve more creative photographs. You will then be introduced to the darkrooms and processing areas where your film will be processed in the afternoon.

The afternoon session will be based in the darkrooms, where you will learn how to operate the professional enlargers. You will be taught how to test, expose and print from black and white negatives and to produce photographic prints by hand.

A day to be enjoyed with like-minded people, learning traditional, hands-on, photographic processes from start to finish.
