A new instalment to our Ottawa Platform Series, we are offering an evening with Matt Hinther as he guides you through the new-ish alternative process of film and paper development – Caffenol!

The Caffenol process is a much less toxic development process using simple ingredients to develop and print B&W film.

People with home-based darkrooms or those working in shared darkrooms who want to work in a less toxic environment!
