Take a photography class in our traditional photo darkroom, learn the fundamentals of digital photography, or experiment with alternative photo processes like cyanotypes and anthotypes!

Have you ever wanted to learn how to use a film camera, develop your own film, or make photographic prints in the darkroom?In this class, we will go through the entire process of darkroom photography: learning how to use an analog camera, shoot, develop film, and print. We will also experiment with camera-less printing techniques like making photograms.This class is taught by visiting artist-in-residence Katherine Finkelstein.

There are three price tiers. Sustaining tickets help us continue to invest in programming. Full price tickets cover the costs associated with running classes. Accessibility tickets are priced below what it costs for us to run a class. If the cost of a full price ticket is a hardship, we encourage you to purchase a sliding scale ticket.
