Description: Has it been a while since you’ve been in a darkroom? Would you like to try developing film and printing in the darkroom for the first time? During each Darkroom Refresher, Michael Wilson will be demonstrating the procedures and fundamentals of black and white film processing and enlargement printing in the darkroom. After participating in the refresher, stay for the Open Lab from 6-10pm to try the processes out yourself, and receive one-on-one feedback from Michael who will stick around to moderate the Sunday Lab.
Note: Students who complete this workshop will be qualified for accessing the community darkroom during Open Lab hours, and will not need to complete an Orientation Session.
Materials List:
-
A pencil/pen and notebook will be needed for taking notes.
-
Please bring film and photographic paper (RC or Fiber) if you plan on using
the darkroom after the class, during the Open Lab.
Level of Study: All levels are welcome. This course is appropriate for those with or without darkroom experience.
LOCATION: Unless otherwise specified, all courses are hosted at Manifest's new facility at 'M1' in Clifton at 3464 Central Parkway (see map and directions below). Manifest's new facility provides multiple studio classrooms, private lesson space, a darkroom, a film processing room, and a multi-purpose lecture and class meeting space as well as on-site parking, grounds, and exterior spaces in which to relax, discuss, and make art. The studios are outfitted with professional equipment, furniture, and study aids.
The Manifest Drawing Center darkroom was made possible by support from FotoFocus; The John A. Schroth Family Charitable Trust, PNC Bank, Trustee; and The Ohio Valley Foundation, Fifth Third Bank, Agent; as well as contributions from many individual donors. The 2020 relocation of the Manifest Drawing Center to our current location in Walnut Hills was made possible by a contribution from the William S. Rowe Foundation. Ongoing support is provided by the Joseph A. Stoner Memorial Fund.
