Kerry Monro has been running Darkroom Basics classes for over a year now, with
very good attendance and success. The classes are for all MCC members who are just
starting out in the darkroom, as well as those who would like to
revisit basic principles of darkroom work. They are free of charge, but members-only and registration is mandatory.

If you are interested to participate then please contact Tim.
Classes are held on the second Mondays of three
consecutive months. Since starting dates keep shifting a bit (sometimes also in relation to the printed program), please have a look at the MCC online calendar for the actual dates.
The classes provide participants with a basic foundation in
darkroom techniques so that they feel confident to undertake their own
film development and printing. Whilst the details of the individual sessions are adapted to suit the needs and requirements of participants, the general topics covered are:
- Session 1 - how to develop B&W film;
- Session 2 - how to make a contact print,
- Session 3 - how to make a basic print of a selected image;
- Session 4 - how to make an exhibition print.
As MCC members, participants can hire the MCC's darkroom for a small fee, to practice what they have learnt. In fact participants are encouraged to start using the darkroom in their own time after attending session 2, so that they can get a feeling for working on their own.
The regular monthly meetings of the Traditional Darkroom Printmakers Group provide scope for further learning as well as discussion with other Darkroom workers.
Please note that whilst the classes are free to MCC members, class sizes are limited and registration is required. For more information or registration, please contact Tim Kohlman.
You MUST be a member of the MCC to attend the classes; please click here for more information on how to become a member.
