Beyond the Basics - Intermediate Darkroom: June 20 and 27, 10:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.
Two-Day Workshop · June 20 & 27 · $130
Building on Basics
Intermediate Darkroom Techniques
Take your prints further. Deeper contrast control, confident dodging & burning, and your first experience on fiber-based paper.
June 20 & 27 (2 Parts)
10:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.
Go beyond the basics.
Who This Is For
This class is designed as a natural continuation of the introductory darkroom experience — though anyone with foundational darkroom knowledge is welcome to join. Over two Saturday mornings, you'll build precision in the darkroom: mastering contrast, rescuing difficult negatives, and making the leap to fiber-based paper.
Each three-hour session is hands-on from start to finish. You'll leave with prints you're proud of and the knowledge to replicate them.
What You'll Learn
In-Depth Contrast Filter Work
Understanding and using contrast filters with precision
Split-filter printing technique
Strategies for printing from under-exposed & over-exposed negatives
Advanced Dodging & Burning
Building on intro-level technique
Developing intuition for shadow and highlight control
Introduction to Fiber-Based Papers
Differences between RC and fiber-based papers
Proper development and handling techniques for fiber
What fiber paper makes possible for your printing practice
What's Included
RC Paper - Up to 5 sheets of resin-coated paper
Fiber Paper - Up to 5 sheets of fiber-based paper
Hands-On Instruction - Two full 3-hour sessions of guided, practical darkroom work with direct instructor feedback.
Darkroom time - Enjoy unstructured darkroom time after class for the rest of the day.
