UK Gathering

 

Too impatient to wait for the European Gathering in Paris a call sounds out to all that might wish to gather in Bonnie Scotland over the weekend of 22-23 November 2008. I offer our house as the centre of activities, a nice little darkroom, some nibbles, a wee dram and scope for showing work and image making! Rumour has it that we have a fine Indian restaurant close by should people find the need.

 

What is more a mystery guest will be here too! He has agreed to show some work and provide a masterclass and take the hot seat for a question and answer session.

 

This is a free event to promote the wet-plate collodion process, to renew old acquaintances and make new ones.

Well that is 5 of us so far - I'm sure the girls from The Dark Country will make their way north when they hear the call :)

That's magic - thanks. I'm overseas next week so will sadly miss the street level night. I'll get in touch over the weekend before I go if that's OK,

Ye HA!!

Our guest - I think the topic might give this one away - will be demonstrating the art of negatives, printing and toning! Not to be missed :)

Well a great weekend came to an end! 8 of us including Quinn talked, made plates - mostly negs, printed on some POP. What better way to spend a weekend - evryone enjoyed themselves and we are already planning the next UK Gathering which will be held down south in early summer 2009. A big thank you to Quinn for taking the time to come over and support and encourage the UK Black Paw contingent -gloves were provided for those that wanted them - hopefully we shall be represented at the European Gathering in June 2009.
 
Again many thanks to Quinn!

It was a fantastic time, meeting old friends and some new. Many thanks to Quinn for sharing his knowledge and Carl, Liz and Lewis for their warm hospitality and great food.

John.
