We are a public lab and part of Nuremberg's Art and Culture Quater (Kunst- und Kulturquartier Nürnberg). As an open workshop, our doors are open to everyone: After a short introduction, you can get started right away.
The lab is run by a team of knowledgeable photographers and educators – Tanja, Laila, Manfred, Patrick, Benjamin, and Stefan. We gathered many years of practical experience and in-depth knowledge in the area of analog photography. We usually are on site in the evenings during our opening hours, providing instructions, answering your with questions, and offering advice and support.
Important note: We are not a commercial or service-based business. We are happy to help you, but the work on your films and prints lies solely in your hands.
Our focus is exclusively on analog black-and-white photography and the associated analog processes.
Due to the current condition of our rooms, the lab unfortunately still has to remain closed until further notice. With a room temperature of just under 30°C, regular operations are not feasible. We have no direct influence on this. It is due to the new structural conditions following the renovation of the Künstlerhaus. While we were setting up our rooms, it gradually became clear to us that we cannot sustain permanent and regular operations under these circumstances. Until a solution is in sight, the lab will unfortunately have to remain closed.
Anyone who feels confident handling film, paper, and chemicals after receiving some initial guidance.
