Printing
your own photographs is great fun and it is truly exciting to play
around in the darkroom and watch your photographs appear like magic.
Learn how to produce a perfect print from your negatives, rather than
sending them off to the mini-lab! In this course you will learn all
the basic elements of darkroom printing, how to use the darkroom safely,
and you will gain all the darkroom skills needed to work in the darkroom
independently
Please see the Darkroom
Introduction Course Modules for more details on what you will
study on this course.

Course Overview:
Who is the Darkroom Introduction
course aimed at?
Darkroom Introduction, as its name suggests, is an introduction to
black and white darkroom printing and is ideal for both beginners

Basic Photography, which are also
