Dark Room Basics II

  • 722 Sumner Spring Lane Chapel Hill (map)

In this 1-day workshop, students learn how make black and white darkroom prints from their negatives. You will bring already developed film strips and be introduced to the fundamentals for exposing, developing, fixing, washing, and drying your prints. Darkroom discoveries will include how to manually operate an enlarger to expose a sheet of light-sensitive paper, how to make contact sheets to calculate exposure times, how to control contrast along with “burning and dodging” techniques, and more.

Bring your B+W negatives to the workshop. 25 sheets of paper and darkroom chemicals are included in the cost. Maximum 6 students. Completion of Darkroom Basics I (or equivalent prior experience) is advised but not required. Parental consent required for children under 18 years old (minimum age is 15).
