Episode 2: ‘Pimp that Space’
For all those desperate to get printing and developing photographs – the intensive clean and make-over of the Print and Darkroom spaces is underway!
I have been busy and I believe you will all appreciate what has been happening – it is starting to take shape and won’t be long now…
I put together a small team of willing participants: Margaret, Norman, Charlie, John K, Keith D, Simon.

With some standing and ‘ummming’ – extra special thank you to Norman who reminded me of the fact that taking the heavy metal plate out would drop the rollers! – we moved the room around.


The printing press in the mezzanine has been moved to the other side of the room. In fact, all the furniture has been shifted – now you can move freely and access all the work areas comfortably. It will always be a small place – but the team agreed this now looks like it might be fun to work here!
I am waiting on some black paint to further ensure that the darkroom is DARK!
An opening event of the studio spaces is being planned – keep a look out for the info on the What’s On pages.
