Recent reviews of Make Traditional Photographs in a Darkroom Class
- 5/5 from Craig Charlton, attended May 2026: A great workshop to get hands on printing in the darkroom with some really cool vintage negatives. Excellent guideance throughout to ensure we all got great results to take home. A fun and enducational experience. Highly recommended!
- 5/5 from Joey Wong, attended May 2026: It was a really nice introduction to darkroom printing. All the required materials are provided and you go home with your own tangible print. Great experience!
- 4/5 from Bethany Kerwin, attended May 2026: We had Vinnie and Dylan and they were both so friendly and knowledgeable. They allowed us to really drive our own experience whilst providing all the tips so we could have a great finished product. My partner loved the whole experience!
- 5/5 from Nathasha Kugenthiran, attended Apr 2026: Dylan and Oliver are great teachers! This has been timed really well, the class allows time for mistakes or a bit of experimentation. Then amazingly, you leave the class with a couple of really professional prints. Definitely recommend!!
- 5/5 from Angelica Gonzalez, attended Apr 2026: Had a wonderful time learning about darkroom printing in the 2hr workshop. Kylie and Dylan are fantastic mentors. They were both encouraging and gave constructive feedback to achieve the outcome we want on the print. Will definitely be back! ️
- 5/5 from Paul Corris, attended Apr 2026: A very good hands on introduction into making prints from negatives, very relaxed and informative
- 5/5 from Mathilda Gwinner, attended Apr 2026: Absolute gem! I’ve never been in a darkroom before and I came out with two professional prints that I made myself. So much fun. I’ll be booking in the foundations for sure!
- 5/5 from Anna Wood, attended Apr 2026: Great workshop. Very organised, clear information and support provided to step through the photo development process. Highly recommend this workshop. Loads of fun and has cemented my enthusiasm for darkroom development.
- 5/5 from Katrina Oxley, attended Apr 2026: The workshop was excellent, the tutors were very helpful and patient. I hadn’t been in a darkroom for 20-odd years but it didn’t take me long to remember the process. I will be back!
- 5/5 from Scott Herne, attended Apr 2026: This was a fun session printing from a couple of negatives from 1910 and 1936. A good intro to black and white printing in the darkroom with some interesting negatives to work with.
- 5/5 from Gary Katselas, attended Apr 2026: This was a great introduction to making darkroom prints. No experience was needed and the instructor, Dillon, gave us all the info we needed to get into the action without getting caught up on too much theory first. The negatives we printed from were sourced from across time and locations and were legitimately fascinating in their own right but also given their backstories that Dillon was somehow across. The main thing I appreciated was that Dillon did his best to facilitate individual preferences for what attendees wanted to get out of the day and contributed extra suggestions to help make everyone’s paths more rewarding. I would recommend this course not just to people currently shooting analogue film but even those thinking they might want to get into it because this reveals a whole world of possibilities that come after capturing the initial shot on film.
- 5/5 from Kosta Leventis, attended Apr 2026: Excellent workshop. Very informative and great experience
