Film Processing Workshop

In this hands-on workshop, you and a partner can learn the magic of processing your own black and white film. This is a perfect opportunity to bring along a friend, loved one, or colleague, as you'll be embarking on this creative journey together!

During the workshop, you will discover different film development recipes and have the chance to mix your own black and white chemistry. Don't worry if you're new to this, as we will guide you every step of the way. You'll learn how to use a darkbag/changing bag, load a film onto a reel in a daylight processing tank, and time and process a roll (or rolls) of film by hand.
