It’s exactly how Andrew describes it. Aside from the technical aspects of camera and darkroom work, you get something far more: space to re-energise your photography with someone who really cares about your progress. The bond of trust developed is essential for learning, as it opens a space for honest feedback. At least, that’s what I found from several visits. I have been on a number of courses in exotic places. But I learnt far more from attending Andrew’s darkroom and studio. And Holmfirth is very pretty!
I loved both three day workshops I attended. I was filled with ideas and enthusiasm following my visits to Holmfirth. It was worth every penny. Highly recommended for all the reasons documented above. We covered so many things in three days but all highly relevant to my own practice. I built a homemade large format enlarger after my last visit in January this year
And I was under the impression you quit doing workshops. How did I come up with that? If it wasn't for the left sided driving, I'd just hop in the van and the problem with a place to stay wouldn't be a problem anymore! It might be time to conquer this irrational fear! Hmm, food for thought. Cheers
I haven't given them up, I said I was thinking about winding things down. I don't teach at universities anymore and I don't write for magazines. (They were always so slow to pay).

Thanks for your comment Adrian.

So there's still time for a second chance. I'll give it a thinker! ☺️
