Due to the size and nature of the dark room, spaces are limited to 2 per workshop.

If you’ve attended one of our analogue film processing workshops and want to print your negatives or if you’ve just always wanted to learn the process, this course is the perfect introduction to darkroom printing.

In our brand-new darkroom space, we’ll familiarise you with the darkroom equipment, enlargers, safe lighting & processing equipment. You’ll be instructed in chemical preparation safety and taken step by step through the printing process before going solo and printing your own images. All under the guidance of Mike Stone.

All materials and chemistry are supplied.

Bring your own 35mm negatives or we can supply from our archive.

Owing to the size of the darkroom, places are limited to a maximum of 6 per session, so book early.
