In this guided open darkroom class, you can take a deeper dive into film photography and the traditional darkroom techniques. We may also explore several alternative processes. It will be tailored toward each student’s specific skill level and objectives. The instructor will be available to work with each student to help them advance their own photography and darkroom knowledge and experience, or you can just work on your own, knowing someone will be there to answer any questions that may arise.

Topics in this class can include (but are not limited to):

• B&W film choices; speed and grain differences
• B&W film alternative processing methods like Push/Pull, Cold, Stand, and Reversal development
• Available darkroom papers and the difference between them
• Darkroom filters for contrast and Split Filter printing
• Image selection and editing for individual photo projects
• Advanced dodging, burning, and masking
• Using colored toners on different papers
• Preparing a group of images for exhibition
