Did you know that Fleisher has a color darkroom?! Come explore the disappearing art of Traditional Color Darkroom Photography. You'll get a brief introduction to the materials and techniques and get a chance to experiment with light and color to create your very own color photograms.

Note that this classroom is accessible by stairs only; please contact Fleisher for more information.

  • • All supplies are included with enrollment
  • • Bring small, colorful translucent objects that are not too fragile, to use as subjects for your photograms. Enough to cover a sheet of 11x14 paper.
