In this ecological film processing workshop, participants will use appleol developer to develop black and white film. This process uses caffenol as a guide, creating a solution of washing soda and vitamin C. The use of natural materials in this darkroom process minimizes health risks and environmental impact.

The first day of this workshop will focus on the creation of appleol eco-developer and the hands-on processing of film negatives. Day two participants will make a contact sheet and 8x10 prints. The workshop will cover the characteristics of effective plants for film development, ethical harvesting standards, and tips for experimenting with eco-developers. 

Participants are asked to bring their own roll of B&W film and will leave with a fully developed negatives, a contact sheet and an 8x10 print.
