Claire Voelkel, whose work we’ve admired for some time now, has written a fantastic four-post series she’s called “Self-Developing 101.” The thoughtful guide contains every instruction you’ll ever need to get started with kitchen sink development — no big lab or special space required!
Check out the links to each of her posts below, and make sure to share your results if you choose to try your hand at developing at home. I’ll definitely be trying this myself sometime in the next few months and can’t wait to expand my horizons into developing! Claire — you rock for sharing this. Thanks so much for this guide, and can’t wait to hear more of your tips in the future!
Part One: The Supplies
Part Two: Mixing Chemicals
