This course is currently discounted for the initial opening of our new, community darkroom space.
Description
This course is for those who have experience printing in the darkroom, but maybe haven’t done it in a while.
Here, a Print Technician will work besides you for 1 hour to show you how to operate our equipment, processors, etc. while showing you the workflow of the hand-printing process.
This course is not an absolute beginner’s class, but instead something for those who have some background with the process that need some reminding of the procedures. Because of this, these lessons will not go over everything from “step 1,” but will instead start at, say, “step 3.”
What You Need to Bring
Paper for the desired printing process (Multigrade black-and-white (Resin-coated or Fibre-based, OR color RA-4 paper).
Negatives to print from
Included
All chemistry for printing
Full use of the darkroom space equipment (one enlarger, the appropriate lens/negatives carriers for the printing format, adjustable easels, grain focuser, paper safe, heat presses, etc.)
1 hour of time to speak with, ask questions, and be taught by a lab Print Technician
