Spend an evening with Cali and learn how to develop your black and white film using coffee! For black and white non-toxic processing, there are many formulas that allow you to experiment with different looks and feels to your work. Caffenol (coffee-based) processing dates back to 1995, created by Dr. Scott Williams at the Rochester Institute of Technology. Participants will learn how to mix their own negative processing chemistry using a combination of items from the grocery store, and then develop their roll of film.
Please note: this is a DIY and very experimental process. There may be some inconsistencies during processing, so we suggest not using your most precious film.
All materials are provided EXCEPT film – bring one roll of your own EXPOSED black & white film*. We will also have film dryers and light tables.
*Super 8mm, 16mm, 35mm, Medium Format, etc. ALL FORMATS WELCOME!
*Includes a DIY flatbed scanning certificate to come back and scan your processed film! (Still images only.)
