BIG LIGHT 1:1 Guided Darkroom Session

Following the opening of BIG LIGHT, Merseyway Workshop's brand new B&W photographic darkroom, we are excited to release bookable guided darkroom sessions.

Each slot is 1.5 hours long, giving you exclusive use of the darkroom during this time. These slots are for anybody, but might appeal to:

-Complete beginners who are interested in an intimate taught introduction to basic darkroom processes (developing photographic film, enlarging and printing from developed B&W 35mm film).

-People who need a refresher on basic darkroom processes or are relatively new to the darkroom.

-People with some experience in the darkroom who would still benefit from guidance from a professional for troubleshooting or support refining your skills.

-Anybody looking to book our 'BIG LIGHT Darkroom Access' sessions who need to go through a mandatory induction in order to do so.

You may book sessions back to back if you need longer than 1.5 hours for your project.

If you have any questions about whether this session is suitable for you and your needs, please do not hesitate to get in touch.

Your booking fee will cover your access and cost of chemicals. You can bring your own photographic paper, or buy 8x10 Ilford Multigrade RC Deluxe Satin photographic paper by the sheet from us on the day, at £1 per sheet.

The darkroom is equipped with 2 tabletop enlargers, Ilford chemicals (Ilfostop, Hypam fixer, ID-11 film developer, multigrade developer) developing tanks, other essential darkroom fodder... drop us a line if you'd like more information.
