Description:

You have a pile of B&W negatives that you have made and wonder what it would be like to make B&W photographs with your own hands instead of sending them to a photo store. If you have had this thought before, then this course is for you.

In this four-week class, students will learn the basics of B&W darkroom practices from processing your own film to making your own prints. Going over the procedure thoroughly, students will gain basic understanding of B&W printing and general darkroom usage. By the end of the class, students will be able to print on their own. Participants are also welcome to bring additional negatives for printing.
