1-on-1 DEV TO PRINT

A great workshop for anyone who has no experience at all or just wants to refresh it. Or for someone who wants to take a break from the digital world for a day and gain experience in this traditional craft .

The course takes one full day and can be completed in two . In the morning we will discuss the basics of darkroom equipment and develop your exposed film . During the lunch break we will dry the film in a dryer. In the afternoon we will learn how to properly make contacts from your film and then you will learn how to make high-quality enlargements from selected images.
