Please read if you plan to use the darkrooms.
We are excited to announce that the DUPA darkrooms will be reopening after the summer break! The Atrium Darkroom will open on September 22nd, and the House 6 Darkroom will open on September 29th.
We currently have a good stock of supplies carried over from last year, so there are no booking limits in place, so feel free to make full use of the darkrooms. If, however, supplies run low before we receive this year’s grant, booking limits may be reintroduced to ensure fair access for all members. As always, please make sure to follow the rules and procedures outlined here.
BOOKING INFORMATION
For detailed information about booking, please visit our booking page.
Please note that the darkroom can only be booked by members, so you must sign up as a member of DUPA at trinitysocietieshub.com before you will be allowed to book a darkroom.
As a reminder, the standard booking policy is a maximum of three hours per day, no more than twice per week. While this limit is not being enforced right now, it may be reintroduced if supplies run low before we receive our annual grant and can restock.
DARKROOM WORKSHOPS
Darkroom workshops will start in the next month, so if you are not familiar with the darkrooms or how to develop film and print, we recommend you attend a workshop first. The darkroom officer may allow individuals with experience to book the rooms, and may require others to attend a workshop first. This is at the discretion of the darkroom officer to ensure the proper use and care of the rooms. Any questions can be emailed to darkroom@dupa.ie.
We look forward to seeing you back in the darkrooms!
