Class Description

Description

Bring in 1 roll of black and white film to develop (make sure it is for B&W developing chemicals, some types of film are black and white but require “C41” processing, this film will not work for this class). The instructor will talk about the chemicals and process, and you will develop, dry, and then cut-and-sleeve the negatives in plastic, and can go over the negatives on a lightboard to identify frames to print from at a later date. Feel free to also bring your camera, and if there is time at the end the instructor is happy to go over some settings/troubleshoot any issues. 

AlterWork provides equipment/chemicals/negative sleeves and instruction, you would just need to bring the exposed film.
