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.

All materials and chemistry supplied.
