The sessions will take place in our well-equipped b/w darkroom and will cover to the fundamentals of black and white printing. As this course is for mixed level students you will be able to work at your own pace. You will build on the printing skills according to your level and produce b/w prints. The course will include topics such as photograms, test strips, contact sheets, printing on multi contrast resin-coated paper using filters. As the course covers printing photographs from already processed film, participants should bring b/w negatives that they can use.
