About this Event
More and more, photographers who shoot color film are opting to develop their own film rather than spending the time, energy, and money to send it off to a lab. Developing color film is a whole other world from developing black & white film, with different chemistry, techniques, and concerns. If you’ve developed color film before, this workshop is a great refresher on technique and will show you how to maximize the tools in Aurora’s darkroom. If this is your first time, or if you’ve only watched a couple videos online, the small size of this workshop makes it ideal for asking questions and getting comfortable with the process.
Please note: This workshop is for 35mm and 120mm color film only.
Covered in the workshop:
* Loading film correctly onto plastic or metal reels
* Mixing color chemistry for success
* Knowing the importance of timing, temperature, and agitation
* Reading your negatives to select frames for printing
* Proper care, storage, and handling of negatives
All chemistry and equipment are included in the price of the workshop. During the workshop, you will develop one roll of 35mm and 120mm color film, dry it, and store it in a plastic negative sleeve ready to scan.
What to bring to the workshop:
* Exposed roll of 35mm or 120mm color film
* Plastic negative sleeve to store processed film
Prior knowledge of color film development is a plus but not necessary for this workshop. This workshop is best suited to artists 16+ years old; minors must be accompanied by an adult.
This workshop will be taught by Lab Manager Carlos Perez. All sessions are taught at Aurora PhotoCenter.
