We are thrilled to be collaborating with Salem State University on this incredible program offering.
Calling all budding film photographers! Do you want to work in a darkroom and make prints the "old fashioned" way? Now's your chance to have access to a real working film photography darkroom. The pendulum is swinging back into analog everything, records, books, hand printed photography..... but darkrooms are almost impossible to find now. Salem State University is one of the only ones that still has its original darkroom with plenty of space for everyone to learn the process and be successful. In this week long program hosted by Salem State University, we will explore multiple analog photography techniques, including cyanotypes, Photograms, how to use a film camera, how to expose a roll of film, and silver gelatin print making.
This program will be taught by Salem State professors Jess Martineau and Kim Mimnaugh. Jess is a film photographer and professor in the Art and Design Department at Salem State and has over 25 years of experience working in the darkroom. Kim has a 30+ year career with experience in all photographic medium and techniques and loves sharing her analog knowledge with her students at Salem State.
Participants should bring a snack, water bottle and lunch each day. Some activities may be outdoors, so please dress accordingly.
