Black and white photographic darkroom: Our black and white darkroom can accommodate 35mm and medium format film (up to 6×7), and print sizes up to 16in x 20in.
Applications are now being taken for our Facilities User membership schemes. The schemes are for experienced artists who would like to use the Photography Darkroom, Printmaking and Sculpture facilities on a regular basis, but do not need a permanent work space at neo: studios.
It is up to you to provide your own photographic film, chemicals and paper, but they can also be purchased from our studio shop.

Access:
The studio is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We regret there is currently no disabled access but funding is being applied for to remedy this situation.
neo offer both private and open plan studios open 24/7 to cater for creative practitioners who prefer to work in solitude, as well as those who prefer to work alongside others.
The studios are suitable for a variety of art forms, all we ask is that applicants be committed to contributing to a creative working environment by using their studio on a regular basis. Most of the studios have excellent natural light.
Additional print, sculpture and dark room facilities are available for use by all studio holders and facilities user members with prior experience.
