An introduction to Developing your own black-and-white film!

A great introduction for people who might not have room for a whole darkroom in their lives. We’ll also be experimenting with ‘improvised’ developer formulae, such as paracetamol and coffee.
Detailed technical handouts will be provided as well as a shopping list of what you’ll need to get started at home
