Black And White Film Developing - Workshop
Learn to process your own black and white film in the Sequence darkroom.
£55.00
Wednesday 25th November
6pm-9pm
There's something incredibly satisfying about seeing your photographs appear for the first time. In this hands-on workshop you'll learn how to develop your own black and white film and make a contact sheet in the Sequence darkroom.
Simply bring along a roll of exposed black and white film and we'll guide you through the entire process, from loading your film into a developing tank to mixing chemistry and processing your negatives by hand.
Once your film has been developed, you'll learn how to make a contact sheet in the darkroom, giving you a beautiful overview of your negatives and the perfect starting point for making future prints.
You'll leave with your processed negatives, a contact sheet, the knowledge and confidence to develop film yourself, and hopefully a few new photography friends too.
What to bring
One roll of exposed black and white film (35mm or 120)
Clothing you don't mind getting a little dirty
What's included
All chemistry and equipment
Photographic paper for your contact sheet
Expert tuition

This workshop is suitable for both 35mm and 120 black and white film.

Places are limited and booking is essential.

The workshop involves standing for extended periods.

We believe the darkroom should be an accessible, welcoming and collaborative space. Whether you're developing your very first roll of film or returning to analogue photography after many years, you'll be warmly welcomed at Sequence.

Accessibility
Sequence is based within Backlit Studios, a beautifully restored former factory building dating back almost 200 years.
Our darkroom is wheelchair accessible with some temporary modifications to the entrance. However, due to the nature of the historic building, some areas are not fully accessible for all wheelchair users or those with certain mobility requirements.
Accessible toilets are located two floors above the studio and can be reached via either a lift or stairs.
If you have any questions about accessibility or would like to discuss your individual requirements before booking, please don't hesitate to get in touch.
