Courses description

This workshop is suitable for those with a 35mm or 120mm film camera. Using steeped tea, vitamin c tablets and washing soda, participants will learn how to make their very own homemade darkroom chemistry from teabags and other plants they find out in the world. This can then be applied on to light sensitive materials, and for this workshop we will use it to develop a black and white film. We will see how the developer works in real time by making prints using darkroom paper. There will then be a demonstration on how to load film into a developing tank and then we will develop our films together using the plant based developer.

This workshop is suitable for complete beginners to darkroom techniques and processes. This workshop is in the darkroom, it is very much a standing workshop and in a small space.
