Explore RA4 hand printing the easy way. We provide everything you need to discover the art of printing colour negatives, including enough paper and chemistry to print multiple images.
We cover various techniques required to produce high quality prints of your 35mm or 120 colour negatives, including colour balancing, dodging and burning, and masking and framing your final print.
If you don’t yet have a developed roll of film, why not try our C-41 film developing workshop.
At the end of the workshop, you not only leave with newfound skills and a collection of beautifully hand printed photos, but also with a deeper appreciation for the darkroom process.
Darkroom paper included
All necessary chemistry and equipment is included and darkroom paper is provided in during the workshop. While some paper will be used for test prints, attendees often leave with at least 2-4 images per workshop, depending on the sheets included.
Darkroom location
Hosted within Pollard Yard, on the outskirts of Manchester city centre, our community darkroom is a mere 2-minute stroll from the Holt Town tram stop, and a leisurely walk from the scenic Ancoats marina.
