Intro to Darkroom Printing: From Negative to Print

Intro to Darkroom Printing: From Negative to Print

Experience the magic of the darkroom and transform your negatives into hand-crafted photographic prints.

In this two-session workshop, you'll learn the essential techniques of black & white darkroom printing, from creating contact sheets and test strips to making finished silver gelatin prints. Working in a small group, you'll receive hands-on instruction while learning how to use an enlarger, evaluate exposure, control contrast, and refine your images through traditional darkroom techniques.

By the end of the workshop, you'll have the knowledge and confidence to create your own black & white prints and a collection of finished photographs to take home.
