Intro to the Black and White Darkroom Workshop

Make Your First Darkroom Print

In this short workshop you'll learn how to make a traditional black and white darkroom print.

Bring along your own developed black and white negatives and spend some time learning how to use a photographic enlarger, light and chemistry to create a beautiful silver gelatin print by hand.

You'll leave with a unique, one-of-a-kind print, a new understanding of the darkroom process and, hopefully, a few new photography friends too.
We believe the darkroom should be an accessible, welcoming and collaborative space. Whether you're making your very first print or returning to analogue photography after many years, you'll be warmly welcomed at Sequence.
