Eco film processing workshop: The Darkroom Social x Manly Spirits Co.

Join The Darkroom Social for a photo walk and eco film processing workshop on Sunday 16th February 2025 from 10am-3pm. We will meet at Manly Spirits Co. before embarking on a short photo walk around industrial Brookvale to photograph the details, architecture and street art of the local area. Each participant will shoot a roll of 35mm black and white Ilford HP5+ film (provided on the day). We will then return to Manly Spirits to process the film in a unique eco developer made from waste products and ingredients from the distillery process. After a short break for lunch (snacks provided) we will scan the film and each participant will be sent a link to download their photos.

This workshop is for people who have their own 35mm film cameras and are comfortable shooting film - no prior experience or knowledge of film processing is necessary! Please bring your own camera to use on the day during the workshop.

With each ticket purchased you will get a TDS canvas tote bag!

This workshop is supported by the Northern Beaches Council.

The venue is accessible, and for those for whom a walk isn’t possible let us know in advance we can accomodate an alternate activity.
