Course description
This introductory class is designed for high school students, who wish to learn how to shoot, process and print black and white film in our darkroom. It’s a fun introductory class for teens as we keep the classes small, so students can have time to learn and experiment within this class. Students can practice their new skills at our facility outside of the designated class time while the course is in session.
No materials are required for the first class, but students are encouraged to bring 35mm SLR cameras if they already own one. Instructor will provide material list on first day of class.
Please note: This class can be taken in lieu of the Photo Center Orientation.
Requirements
Photo Center Orientation is not required for this class.
