Hey Katey, In order to become a member of the darkroom you have to go through an induction session and pay 5 pounds. Then you can schedule times on the online booking system and use it pretty much whenever you want. We're actually having a beginners workshop/induction this evening at 6:30 so it woul...

MOST IMPORTANT ACTION TO BE ACTED UPON> if anyone has any ideas, or time to search please do!!! Getting a new chemical system worked out is crucial!!! We need three chemical tanks with a tap/faucet/spigot. I found these chemicals tanks: http://www.google.com/products?addr=EH9+1HG&hl=en&client=firefo...

Hey, would anyone want to d a beginners workshops next week? I know a couple people who are interested, and ben maybe this would help. Also, The forest darkroom now has a facebook thing (group?), so you can become a fan to it. This can also be a way of finding out about recent activities and network...

Hello! This forum is a way for everyone involved with the darkroom to post what they're doing, and what needs to be done so everyone can stay informed and help out where ever they can. We decided to hold general meetings on Tuesdays at 5 in the cafe, so please come along to these if your interested....

Yes, I can go, I'll be there for sure!

Tuesday sounds great. I'm free after five, so hows 5.15?

We went in yesterday and made a print! So the darkroom is officially running, however the Leitz enlarger seems to have a watermark on the inside of the lens which I couldn't figure out how to take care of. Also on the other enlarger there is a slot above the negative tray which lets light out from t...

Alright, so all the the safe-lights are up and running. There is still an extra one which is missing the crucial red gel to make it darkroom safe, so if we could get one of those from somewhere then we'd really be in business. But otherwise its all ready to go. I'm planning on going in tomorrow to s...

hello! I went in yesterday and chiseled the door down, so it shuts now!, and I also put up some curtains so the room is completely light tight. Next step is to resolve the safelight situation, which I think a couple of light bulbs will do a lot of justice, and running a test print. It seems like all...

Unfortunatley I have to work tonight unexpectedly, I just got a call from my boss, so I can't make the meeting. Either way, I want to get in there on Friday and/or this weekend to set up those curtains and get the ball rolling. I was wondering if there would be fabric for this in that room of curios...

hey, i just got my schedule-i'm free on wednesday so ill be at the meeting for sure.

Hey, sorry its taken me a while to respond I've been busy recently as well. Next Thursday would be perfect for me though I may have work in the afternoon. Also noticed there's an artist working group meeting on Wednesday. Anyone going to that? If I'm free I'll be there.

Hey martin, that all sounds very manageable. I'll be happy to start setting things up as soon as possible. I may need an introduction to the enlargers depending on what type they are but I'm sure I will figure it out. What is a good time for me to come in and get things going? I am free this weekend...

Hello! I would be able and willing to take care of the darkroom if you still need somebody. I have a lot of experience with dark rooms, took care of my own last year. I am a third year university student so time is a slight (very slight) issue, but I'm sure we can work something out. It'd be great i...
