Learn the art of contact printing in Stirling's new darkroom and studio.

Did you know Edward Weston made some of the world’s most famous photographs using a bare bulb ?

Contact printing is fun and can produce high quality prints. In this workshop we will show you how to print using both historic and modern negatives using different techniques.

About Stirling Photography Festival

Established in 2018 as a Youth Festival, Stirling Photography Festival is now in our ninth year, working with partners across Scotland to bring some of the best established and emerging artists to Stirling. Our guiding values remain firmly rooted in our founding aims to Inspire Creativity, Develop Skills and Build Community.

In 2026 we joined the Creative Scotland funded Scene Stirling Culture Collective, became members of Photography Networks Scotland and the Season of Photography, and came together with Wolfcraig Traditional Photography Studios and Darkroom to form Stirling Photo SCIO,.

Our growth over the years to become Scotland's longest running annual photography festival has been made possible through our partnerships with Stirling's leading cultural and community organisations, and with the support of our sponsors from across our community. If you would like to know more please get in touch.

Stirling Photo is a Charity Registered in Scotland, No. SC055563
