It was a very happy few days, most of the students in fact came from my two year
one day a week course in Creative imaging through lens based media.The feed
back that I have received has been positive.
Most of the students made a print from a gravure plate all the students
made a plate,some of the images were not perfect, but each was an exciting
experience
for the person concerned, Peter Marshall produced a very sensitive image
beautifully realised in the photogravure medium
In general I am in full agreement with Peters concerns in regard to safety
rules but I do feel he is nit-picking in respect of this workshop , Terry
pointed out all the safety pitfalls at each stage,and was constantly on
guard for the care and safety of my students as I was myself , with Peter
also making a valuable contribution.
Also Terry was working under far from ideal conditions three-quarters of
the photographic darkrooms were torn out on the first day of the course,
not an auspicious start,this would have shaken a lessor man but not our
Terry with a laugh and a few muttered curses he sailed through the week
without a care in the world.
I am looking forward to doing the whole thing again next year.
Now for a short plug which I hope Steve wont mind, if anybody would like
further details of the course in Creative imaging 96/97 that I run at
Kingsway please contact me off list
