In this 1-day workshop, students learn how make black and white darkroom prints from their negatives. No prior experience necessary. Participants are introduced to the fundamentals for exposing, developing, fixing, washing, and drying your prints. Darkroom discoveries will include how to manually operate an enlarger to expose a sheet of light-sensitive paper, how to make contact sheets to calculate exposure times, how to control contrast along with “burning and dodging” techniques, and more. After the class concludes, students have the opportunity to continue printing in the darkroom for an additional 2 hours, should you want to.
Bring your B+W negatives (already processed) to the workshop. Paper and darkroom chemicals are included in the cost. Maximum 6 students. Parental consent required for children under 18 years old (minimum age is 15).
