From Digital to Darkroom

T&Cs

Join us for a fun and inspiring workshop exploring our fully equipped Darkroom to make your own printed photographs.

On this workshop you’ll have the opportunity to print your favourite photographs in the darkroom, alongside our Darkroom Coordinator Emily Ryalls.

These can be any images – from your phone, tablet, film camera, or DSLR. Ahead of the session participants will be contacted to send your photographs to your tutor, giving you the chance to prepare the photographs as digital negatives (printing them on acetate). We will prepare your images ready to print with and will start the session with a demo on how to prepare the digital negative.

We will then, as a class, learn how to operate an enlarger and create high quality prints from your photographs – ready for you to take home.

*Please note bookings will close 2 days before the workshop to allow time for the tutor to prepare your imagery in advance, so book early to avoid disappointment.
