Introduction to Black & White Darkroom (Ages 15+ / Adults)
Learn the fundamentals of film photography and darkroom printing.
This course introduces participants to the complete black-and-white photographic process, from shooting 35mm film to developing negatives and producing prints in a traditional darkroom setting.
Participants will learn how to process film by hand, create contact sheets, and enlarge photographs, gaining a foundational understanding of analog photographic workflows. No previous experience is required, and the course emphasizes hands-on learning and material exploration.
