B&W Film Developing Course, July 10
This 3-hour course workshop will introduce you to developing black and white film. You will learn how to load metal developing reels and then you will develop one or two rolls of black and white film, leaving with the devleoped negatives in a sleeve to keep them safe and dust-free.
You will need to come with one to two rolls of undeveloped black and white film. I strongly recommend using Ilford HP5+, as different films require different developers and development time.
From here, you will be ready for our one-day black and white printing course, or you can consider a negative-scanning course. Course will take place in my basement darkoom in Madison’s East Side from 6-9 p.m.
