Hi all,

I was wondering if there are any darkrooms in Mayo, Galway, or Sligo where you can rent space by the hour or day? I have no facilities of my own and would like to work on some projects over the coming summer and autumn.

Ideally, I’d like to print B&W up to 16×20.

Thanks,

Vinny.

I’m not sure what facilities they have but try the Galway Arts Centre and the Institute of Technology Sligo.

Hope you find what you need.

Thanks Peter!

I will follow up on this info. I also found out that there is a new arts centre in Bohola that has darkroom facilities. I’ll give them a call to see if I can swing by to check it out sometime.

Thanks again,

Vinny.

Did you have any luck with this enquiry? I live in claremorris and have been looking for darkroom facilities too…let me know please.

Hi Couscous,

I went down today for a look. Looks like a nice space. 4 new b/w enlargers. No enlarger filters yet, but they will be ordering them. Seems best to bring your own chemicals etc. Woman running the facility (Helen) is very nice and she’ll be happy to give you the tour. I’ll pm you with her number.
