In this day and age, the magic of the darkroom offers a disruptive departure from the stream of instant and manipulated images. This workshop led by Kevin Rice of Process Reversal covered the chemistry, physics and practical considerations of making and coating silver gelatin emulsions for cinematography and photography.

Image Results
Participant final images contained both tight image prints as well as many unexpected surface textures.
Participants left this workshop with a hands-on knowledge of DIY techniques along with access to an extensive library of resources for the pursuit of experiments with this traditional process!
