I regularly run Film Photography and Darkroom Printing workshops for small groups from beginner to advanced level in my darkroom in Trim. The small groups allow me to devote ample time with each participant and provide them with a great opportunity to enhance their printing skills. My darkroom consists of quality Kaiser enlargers and I cater for all film formats from 35mm to 4x5 inch.
Full workshop details and prices are outlined below, followed by some images made by past attendees.
One to one training is also available from €250 per day.

Lith printing is a very creative printing process with results unlike conventional black and white printing in several respects. The prints produced using this technique can often be described as looking more graphic but may also be soft and subtle. Lith prints are colourful even before toning and may contain warm coloured mid and light tones to high contrast cold coloured shadow tones. The process is so unique that no two prints will ever look the same.
