This gave me a link to the gravure workshop I am running in London from 22 thru
26 July. Last year our objective was to achieve hand gravure prints comparable
to platinum/palladium prints. All the participants did so except one but he
missed out on the middle two days of the week. We used a single bath method of
etching the plates that I have been working on for the past five years.The cost
for this course will be around $200 including copper,ink,mordants, carbon tissue
and paper. This course is certainly running but as numbers are limited, I can,
if there is the demand, set up another on alternative dates.
GUM
There is to be a gum workshop in Twickenham, SW London, from 8-12 July where we
will be working on multicolour and four colour gum prints(the latter if students
wish to do so).The cost will somewhat less and numbers will be limited to ten.
GUM PLATINUM/PALLADIUM & IRON PROCESSES
Weekend workshops are planned this summer at a photographic studio beautifully
converted from a smithy at a village on the Kent/Sussex border near a 12th
century monastery and across the road from the pub. There is a well equipped
darkroom. As numbers wil be limited to six and accommodation and material will
be included the cost is likely to be around $400 for the weekend.
WORKSHOPS IN ALTERNATIVE PROCESSES FOR ADVERTISING AND EDITORIAL PHOTOGRAPHERS
There are also to evening courses for no more than four at a time at a working
fine photographic print house in the City of London.
YEAR LONG COURSES
For about six years I have running a year long course on Saturdays starting with
Wedgwood's experiments in the 1790s and continuing through
salt,albumen,cyanotype,kallitype, oil pigment and bromoil and the transfer
processes, carbon, photo etching and photogravure.
Participants on the workshops and courses have been of many levels and
nationalities. We have had undergraduates,attemting to add something interesting
to curricula elsewhere, Masters students doing the same, PhD students and those
who have their PhDs for years.They have come from Brazil, France,Spain,Italy
China,Japan, Mexico, Sweden,Denmark. Finland, the US,Canada and Australasia as
well as Brits. We have had photographers, lecturers , painters and etchers as
well as keen and knowledgeable amateurs whose experience adds to the benefits of
the group. The range of participants and their experience usually means every
one on the workshop expands their knowledge of photography well beyond the
ostensible subject of the workshop.
If anyone out there is interested could they e-mail me o
