Private Lessons

Tailored, one-on-one (or one-on-two) sessions designed to meet your specific learning goals. These lessons provide focused, practical guidance in both technical darkroom skills and art practice development.

Available topics include:

  • Black and white film developing using sustainable plant-based processes

  • Making darkroom prints.

  • Alternative photographic processes such as cyanotype, lumen printing and phytograms.

Sessions run for 1–3 hours and can be booked as one-off lessons or as part of an ongoing learning pathway.

After you have learnt how to use the darkroom then you can rent our darkroom and work independently.
