This is aimed at the photographer who is shooting film and now wants to discover the magic of working in a darkroom.
The one-day/two evening course will show you how to process a roll of film that you have previously shot. From these negatives you will discover how to produce a contact print and from this select some images to produce a few glorious black & white prints.
The course includes all paper and chemicals. Participants will need to have shot a roll of 35mm or 120 film that they bring along on the day.
This is the perfect introduction for the analogue photographer looking to acquire darkroom skills that will subsequently enable them to work independently with our equipment. Completion of this course counts as an Induction, which is mandatory for anyone planning to become a darkroom member.
This is one of our most popular workshops, so if there are no available slots the alternative is to book a Film Processing and Darkroom Printing Taster, as this combination covers the same ground.

All materials included.
Just bring along a roll of undeveloped 35mm or 120 black and white film you have previously shot.
DARKROOM printing TASTER £95
You will bring a roll of 35mm or 120 black and white film that you have already shot and had processed (you can send it to us in advance and we'll process it ready for the session at a very competitive price). You will be shown how to produce a contact sheet, from which you will use to select which negatives to produce some prints from to take home.
All materials included.
INTRO TO CAMERA AND DARKROOM £325
A practical course that will teach you the principle functions of a 35mm Single Lens Reflex(SLR) or medium format camera and basic darkroom skills.
Over two days you will be introduced to the mechanisms that control exposure, focus and other functionality of your camera and shown how to load and unload film safely. Having shot a roll of film, you will learn how to process it and produce a contact sheet of the negatives. From this you will choose images to create beautiful black and white prints in the darkroom.
The course fee includes film, paper and chemicals, but participants will need their own 35mm SLR or 120 camera.
This course would be the perfect introduction for the photographer looking to acquire all the skills needed to subsequently work independently in our darkroom. Completion of this course will count as your Induction, which is mandatory for anyone planning to become a darkroom member.
