Introduction to the Darkroom: B+W Film Processing and Photographic Printing Workshop

This workshop is entry-level and designed to establish good working practices for processing film and making your first prints. During the course, participants are shown how to shoot film on their camera and then process it in the darkroom. The central focus of the workshop is to enable participants to pre-visualise the outcome they want to achieve and to calibrate the camera and processing chemistry to achieve it. On the last day, participants will explore the basics of making their own prints from the negatives. Participants should bring a working 35mm SLR or Medium Format Camera (120) with manual shutter speed and aperture controls.

Accommodation: We have private rooms available for €35 per night in our residential building. Please book your tickets to the workshop on Eventbrite and then email us to see if we have a room available to: info@leitrimsculpturecentre.ie.
