Arts & DIY
Have you ever wanted to develop your own film? It's easy and you can do it almost anywhere! Feel the sense of satisfaction after developing your own film and seeing the images you created.
In this class you will learn how to take an exposed roll of 35mm film through the development process and end up with usable negatives. You will learn to put your film on reels and use chemicals to develop your film.
We will not be making prints during class. You will also have to leave your film at the shop until it dries and can be cut and put in negative sleeves. But this gets you started and allows you to move on and make prints or scan your negatives.
Please bring an exposed roll of 35mm B&W process film.
All ages welcome
We will provide you with the chemicals and supplies necessary to develop your film.

I had been hoping to find a film developing course for quite some time and came across a class at The Pursuit Supply. Adam (the instructor) was knowledgeable and helpful with any questions. It was a very positive experience and I look forward to my next visit to The Pursuit Supply!

Great to finally learn how to develop my own film! Adam was super helpful and knowledgable making the class fun and productive. Walked away with a roll of my Kodak TriX fully developed by myself!
