Interested in learning how to process your 35mm black and white film and work in a darkroom? We are offering proficiencies again for all who are interested! Community members will have to purchase a daily or quarterly pass in order to participate in the proficiencies (see the “Community Member” tab for more details on that).
We will be having two sets of processing proficiencies during week 5 and two sets of darkroom proficiencies the following week. YOU MUST ATTEND A PROCESSING PROFICIENCY PRIOR TO ATTENDING A DARKROOM PROFICIENCY. There are only 6 spots in each session and sign up is first come, first serve. We will be holding more proficiency sessions in the future so if you miss this one or can’t attend during the dates below, there will be more chances!
You SHOULD NOT attend more than one processing proficiency or more than one darkroom proficiency. If you are still not feeling comfortable processing film or working in the darkroom after your session, please let the instructor know so that they can help you.
