This workshop will explore alternative (eco/kitchen-sink) processing techniques on black and white film. There are a variety of recipes that yield excellent results. Film developing is never completely environmentally friendly, but you can minimize the risk to yourself and the environment significantly by processing your film with the recipes that we will teach in this class. We will teach both negative and reversal processing with chemicals easily accessible to the average person.
