Fine Art Darkroom Printing Masterclass
3 days: 10am to 4pm, Fri 27 to Sun 29 March 2026
Participants: 6. Cost: €360. Tutor: Peter Wilcock

This workshop is designed to teach the participant best practice when making darkroom prints. It will focus on working with fibre-based (museum standard) printing and is designed to teach artists and hobbyists good practice when exposing, processing, washing and storing fine art photography prints. The central focus of the course is to consider how to calibrate the exposure and processing of photographic paper in order to achieve a desired outcome. The course will cover differences between standard photographic papers and how chemistry can change the way the print looks. It will detail museum standard print washing and how to dry and store prints for archival longevity. Participants should bring: 35mm or Medium Format (120) negatives to print.
This is a masterclass, so participants need to have a good understanding & experience in the process. Not suitable for beginners.
