I got into film photography too late to ever visit Rayko. How I wish it had survived, somehow. Having a whole darkroom for rent in town would be incredible.
San Francisco has the Harvey Milk Photo Center, which has a huge dark room and film processing facilities. It's pretty awesome. I've taken several classes there. https://www.harveymilkphotocenter.org/
In case anyone from central Indiana stumbles upon this thread, the Indianapolis Art Center also has a darkroom with inexpensive classes. I’m anxiously awaiting my next class this fall.
Wow, thank you! Sounds like I can even learn how to use the darkroom there. Boy, I love that we have stuff like this here. Shoutout to Oscar’s in SOMA for doing a great job developing my stuff for me, fwiw.
Absolutely. There are regular darkroom classes you can sign up for. It's kind of hard to get a spot because the classes are small but my teacher said people also have learned how on YouTube and then come in to practice.
