After a term of virtual classes, we have been given the green light to hold face to face classes at Kidlington Adult Education centre this autumn. Classes will be held in a big airy hall, where it is possible to maintain a 2m distance from others.
This term's classes will be Stage 1 (Tuesday evening or Friday morning) and Stage 4 (Thursday morning or evening). Stage 1 is for complete beginners, while Stage 4 is for those who have already completed Stages 1 and 2, or those who know how to use a DSLR camera on manual settings and want some challenging projects and to meet like minded people. All the classes are very enjoyable and demand a reasonable level of commitment, as tasks will be set between classes. To enroll, please go to Abingdon-Witney.ac.uk For further information, please text the tutor on 07939 221771.

Can I promote my summer Beginners' DSLR course? This 10-week course will take place on Friday mornings (10-12, starting 24/04/2015) at Kidlington adult education centre, near Oxford. On the course you will learn how to use a DSLR camera, from the very beginning. By the end you will be using it confidently on manual settings. Cost is just £100.
For more advanced students, I will be running two 5-week practical classes, where we visit a different venue each week. The times are Tuesday evening, 6.30-8.30pm, and Thursday 10-12. Both classes will start the first week of June. Cost £50

I'm pleased to say the restoration work on our Isle of Wight house is now virtually complete, so I will be planning a residential course in the near future. The builders have created a beautiful white studio for me, which will be perfect for portrait work. If you would like to book a short photographic break, to include guidance and some photography tuition, but where you are self catering (I can provide accommodation with a kitchen) and largely independent, please get in touch, giving the dates you were thinking of. This may be the best way of working before I can manage to set up a formal course. I will be on the island for most of the school summer holiday.

This is almost too unfortunate to be made up, but in the early hours of Christmas Eve, our little stream in the Isle of Wight burst its banks and flooded the ground floor of our house, plus the newly renovated Granary, to a depth of about 3 feet. When we heard the news (we were spending Christmas with my mum in North Yorkshire), our first thought was: what if this happens again and again? The property will become uninsurable. In fact, we have now discovered that the flood was caused by a blockage in the bridge under the main A3020, which prevented the water from flowing downstream. While this is partially comforting, it is very disheartening to have to embark on yet another restoration project, which will knock months out of the effective use of the property. So no residential courses for a while, I'm afraid, while we clean out all the mud and dry the place out again. I have had an enquiry about running a course in April, so will hope that we are up and running by then. Please keep in touch for updates.
