Traditional Darkroom Printmakers Group

If you have an interest in traditional darkroom work, then you are in the right place.
Our monthly workshops provide a good opportunity to meet like-minded people and will help you to improve your skills.
Guests always welcome.

We now also offer introductory darkroom classes to get you up and running with processing your own film and making darkroom prints from it. For more information please see here.

About the Traditional Darkroom Printmakers Group

We meet on the fourth Monday of every month at 7:30pm in the darkroom annex on the ground floor of the Club building.

 

Overview

The group's meetings, workshops and excursions are for people interested in "traditional" analog photography and printmaking. We cover anything you want in this field: exposure, film developing, darkroom printing and alternative techniques. We have no bias for camera formats, films, papers, or techniques.

 

Group meetings run on user-input. Your ideas, suggestions and comment are vital to each meeting.

Like all MCC special interest groups, meetings are open to every MCC member and visitors are welcome.

Ronald Jore is the Traditional Darkroom Printmakers Group Coordinator. Contact him here.

Sessions in the MCC Darkroom can be booked in blocks of 12 hours (6am to 6pm or 6pm to 6am) for the very reasonable price of $5.
