Workshops.

Whilst I am here in France I intend to do very different workshops to the ones I am doing in England., I have opted to do Photography, engraving and bookbinding.


For Photography, I am taught by a lovely man called Gabby. He speaks quite good English, we occasionally teach him English words he doesn't know and he teaches us practical French words. the course teaches us Black and white SLR photography. So far he has taught us, how to do Pin hole Photography and photograms, both of which I have already done before but I enjoy learning the skills again.

Engraving/bookmaking.

For these workshops we are taught by Didier, he is speaks very good English, but he pushes us to speak French when we can which can be very embarrassing at times. At the moment all we are being taught is engraving but soon we will be taught bookbinding too. so far we have done engraving in wood and then printing with the engravings. I have also done fine point engraving which I found really interesting.

 

Here are some images from our class as we are working.
