If you enjoy taking photos of peeling paint, rust, lichen & moss, or erosion, then this course is for you. Exploring a wide range of media and the way they react with each other, effects similar to those we love to photograph will appear with very little effort.
Working on small scale papers in order to encourage experimentation and quick turnover, you will combine inks, dyes, dry media, and anything else you might have lurking in your drawers, and get wonderful effects.
Once experimentation is complete, you will be shown how to think about a narrative composition and put together some of your cards and photos in the form of a simple concertina book.
Cancellation and a full refund can be obtained up to 2 weeks before the course starts. Start dates may be amended on request.
