DIYD is a artist-led darkroom with a real emphasis on community and experimentation.
Membership is free, discretionary and limited to 13, with members encouraged to participate in community activities such as regular exhibitions, monthly zine, group blog/instagram, ongoing projects and the opportunity to run small workshops. Active members will also be offered the opportunity to participate as resident artist - where they will have free access to the space for a chosen time* to work on project of their choosing with guidance, the freedom to experiment with various media/formats, social media takeover and a flexible outcome.
The facilities are also available for hire to the general public, with rates including an on-call supervisor and discounts for Islington Mill studio holders, students and the unwaged.
In addition to this there will also be tutored sessions available for beginners or users in need of additional guidance and a range of affordable process/scan/capture services available if you would rather have a technician do it for you!
An induction is required for first booking, length dependant on a needs basis at an additional £10p/h on your first session.
*Length determined on a project basis, materials not included
