Saturday, February 14, 2009 2-6pm ----- $25-$30 Workshop - Portraits are free!
Stop in with your sweetie(s) and get your portrait taken with an old fashioned camera on old-fashioned black and white film. If you don't have a sweetie, bring your pet, family member or....props! Portraits are free, just sign up to print them with our darkroom members staff alone or plus one. This quick and easy hands-on printing session will send you off with your photograph and a beginners level knowledge of the age old art of the darkroom. $25 for portrait and two hour workshop, $30 for 8x10 portrait, hand printed by us, to be picked up by you later!
I would think it would be much easier for the pros at AS220 to make a print for you rather than going through the time of showing you the ropes. And yet it's cheaper for you to go and have someone teach you your way around a dark room.
I can't say for sure, but it seems to me that this is just another example of AS220 being the real deal in the Arts community. They're saying that giving you the experience of getting your hands wet with developer is literally worth more than the time they have to put in to guide you. That's awesome.
