There are a few spaces in Photoland that require a proficiency to use, the main ones being our black and white film processing area and our black and white darkroom. We offer proficiency sessions for both of these areas multiple times per quarter. To be able to take the darkroom proficiency, you must first complete the film processing proficiency. There are only 6 spots available in each session, all spots are first come, first served. 

For your film processing proficiency, you will need to bring an exposed roll of 35mm, black and white film to process during the session. You will not be able to participate without this. You may choose to bring 120mm film if that is your forte, but be aware that the proficiency will be geared towards 35mm processing. 

If you would like to attend a proficiency session, please see the schedule below. After looking at the schedule, please reach out to Photoland staff via email at photolandstaff@evergreen.edu or via phone at (360)-867-6274 and we will let you know if there are still spots available in that session.
