Learn, Create, and Develop Your Skills
Dako Darkroom is more than just a space, it’s a place to learn, experiment, and grow. Our workshops are designed for everyone, whether you’re a beginner or looking to refine your skills. Join us to dive into the world of analogue photography, guided by either Shou-An Chiang or Leanne Wiggers in a supportive and hands-on environment.
We run weekly workshops:
Intro to the B&W Darkroom
Want to dive into darkroom printing? This workshop covers the basics, from setting up the enlarger to developing your first prints. Perfect for beginners or anyone looking to refresh their skills. The day will start with learning how to use the Enlarger and how to print a contact sheet. Then the second half of the day will be focused on printing your first print. Happens every two weeks (unless cancelled).
Intro to Film Processing
Learn how to process B&W film (35mm, 120, 5x4) like a pro. We’ll guide you through every step, from handling film to achieving the best results. Happens every two weeks (unless cancelled).
We also run special workshop events throughout the year. They are on show down below or stay up to date, follow us on Instagram or sign up to our newsletter.
