DARKROOM SESSION GIFT VOUCHER

New to our darkrooms?

If you haven’t used our darkrooms before, you must include a 10-minute induction with your first booking.

When you select your session in the booking calendar, tick the “New user darkroom induction” box (it’s free, and takes place at the beginning of your session).

You must be a competent darkroom printer and able to work independently.

Need help or want to improve your printing skills? We offer a variety of darkroom courses and 1:1 support sessions, which can be booked here.

Due to space, if you bring a friend to print with you in Black and White, you must book and pay for two enlargers.

We supply chemistry (B&W, colour), easels, grain magnifiers, negative carriers and tongs

You will need to bring your own photographic paper, canned air, loupes and dodging/burning tools.

For colour darkroom bookings we recommend you bring your own lightproof bag/paper safe if you are working with larger print sizes.
