An Introduction to the Darkroom Workshop will be held at the Leitrim Sculpture Centre in Sligo on 17 October 2026. This entry-level course covers black and white film processing and photographic practices, with tickets priced at €240.00.
B+W Film Processing and Photographic
This workshop is entry-level and designed to establish good working practices for processing film and making your first prints. During the course, participants are shown how to shoot film on their camera and then process it in the darkroom. The central focus of the workshop is to enable participants to pre-visualise the outcome they want to achieve and to calibrate the camera and processing chemistry to achieve it. On the last day, participants will explore the basics of making their own prints from the negatives. Participants should bring a working 35mm SLR or Medium Format Camera (120) with manual shutter speed and aperture controls.
Once you have booked, we will contact you nearer the time with final details. The email will come from info@leitrimsculpturecentre.ie, so please save this to your address book, so that our email does not go to your junk folder.
