Black & white photography: camera, film & darkroom weekend workshop

Weekend workshop: running 29th-30th May 2021
Please contact us to register your interest now, as numbers per course are limited by darkroom space - 4 places only available.
This workshop will be run by Mark Beehre / John Williams
We also offer a short course on this, over 4 Monday evenings

Overview
Most people taking up photography this century will have started out on a digital camera. Marvellous tools that they are, there remains a great attraction to doing things the old way - silver-based analogue photography.

This workshop will uncover the mysteries of the darkroom, and you will find it's relatively simple to get started and add a new dimension to your photography. Anyone wanting to give their photography a lift should try shooting black & white film and experience developing and printing it themselves, by hand.

If you haven't used a darkroom for a few years, or decades, this workshop will provide you with a good brush-up on techniques. It is also suitable for those teaching photography as an art subject and wanting practical darkroom skills and an understanding of how the process works, and to pass on the knowledge.
