I do photography and had a darkroom set up in my bathroom in high school. If you are interested in darkrooms you should see if a community college near you offers a photo 1 that is black and white photography. I imagine it’s not super common. Some schools still offer it provides a nice foundation for students. If you are wanting to set one up at home watch craigslist or Facebook marketplace, used set ups do come up and usually at a steal. If you have a basement bathroom or a bathroom with a small window that’s easy to cover and a countertop for the enlarger you can set trays up in the tub and you’ll have a nice quick basic setup done. There’s lots of reading available online, or YouTube will be full of instructional videos. Genuinely it’s a tone of fun.
