CPW’s darkroom is available to rent throughout the week! If you have not already completed a free orientation, please email education@cpw.org to set up an orientation PRIOR to using the darkroom calendar to reserve time. There is no assistance when using the darkroom outside of a class, so please only reserve time if you can work on your own AND you’ve already completed the required free orientation.
