Get Involved
WIFIE is a very mixed group with people of all ages and abilities. Members can work with both digital and black and white photography depending on individual preference. The darkroom is available to members on Thursday nights at Tollcross Community Centre where chemicals and facilities are provided but you will need to bring your own paper and negatives.
There are facilities for developing films and occasional workshops on various photographic techniques such as photograms, sepia, dodging and burning. We can even arrange to loan you a 35mm camera if you don't have your own.
For those preferring digital photography unfortunately we don't have computer facilities available but you can do this at home and still take part in workshops to expand your knowledge and get involved with exhibitions etc.
Just Contact Us to get in touch if you're interested in joining us. Membership is free and open to women of all ages and abilities!
