Red light printing - Workshop

Participants: Pongie, Paula, Benni, Angelina and Andrea.

Starting from 18:00, we started printing materials on the plastic sheets to be enlarged and printed in the darkroom.

Ways to work with the enlarger

1. drawing with markers, pen or other drawing tools on the acetate sheet.
2. printing designs with laser printer, usually A4 (don't forget to print the negative version, in case of a picture) on the negative sheet. The designs can fit the enlarger frame (5x5cm) to be enlarged or fit into the preferred size for a contact print (printing ratio 1:1)
3. working with objects, liquids, shapes, and other materials to make contact print – silhouette drawing
4. using a developed black and white film
