The Centre will close on December 19. We re-open on January 5. On behalf of the Purple Thistle Staff, we wish you and yours a merry Sol Invictus.

Email from Nigel:
Hey everyone. Just wanted to send out an email to let ya’ll know that the darkroom is officially up and running! I’m still in the process of putting up instructions and signs and stuff, but it’s totally useable.

Matt is going to get some new Paper Developer this week, cause I had to dump the old (brown and sludgy) stuff out.

There is Agfa Multicontrast paper, 2 working enlargers, and all the chemicals for everything except for the paper dev.

Also, there are piles upon piles of old BW 35mm negatives, and some prints… they are definitely not adding to the cleanliness of the space and I’m hoping some people will come along and pick their old shit up.

Also, every Monday afternoon from 4-7pm I’m going to be working in the darkroom. If you want help with anything, or just wanna hang out and work on photos, come on down! I am by no means an expert, but I have a general idea of how things work.

More information about the event.
