Printing workshop

Hi everyone. I've talked to Graham Lowe and he was up for doing some printing workshops in his darkroom. Unfortunately I've so far drawn a blank with the funders to be able to pay for it as they have a very specific remit for what gets funded. I'm meeting with Graham tomorrow so I'll have a chat with him about how low he can keep the price. Can I ask how interested people are and if you would be willing to pay 'an amount' for the workshop if it went ahead?

Bob.

Magnum photo agency

Some of the photographers I showed in the first presentation were Magnum photographers (THE most highly regarded photo agency). Here's a link to the work of some of their photographers as a bit of inspiration:
