For a short while I've been interested in the collodion photographic process so was amazed to find a free local course on the subject last night. Not only is it free but its in the former home of Julia Margaret Cameron, Dimbola Lodge.
There are places remaining but the sad news is that the two day course is this weekend.
Look under what's on: Julia Margaret Cameron Trust: Dimbola Museum & Galleries
The nearest hotel 5 minutes walk away is The Farringford, home of Poet Lord Tennyson: Home of Lord Tennyson
The nearest ferry is the Lymington to Yarmouth (train connection at Lymington side), a 5 minutes drive to the venue: Wightlink.
If anyone has the time to organise attending I can pick you up from the ferry on the first day and drop you off on the last day. I also don't mind picking up and dropping off from any hotel between Carisbrooke and Freshwater each day if this would help you attend.
The George hotel Yarmouth (next to the ferry and owned by Dire Straits bassist): The George | Isle of Wight Hotel & Restaurant.
Warner Norton Grange Yarmouth (child free): Norton Grange Holiday Village.
For something more rural: Presford farm.
Lots more accommodation available but if wanting pick up and drop off please keep it to the west half of the island.
I'm sure we can all appreciate how much money is being saved with this workshop so I thought it worth mentioning even at short notice. If anyone is seriously interested I'll be back in this afternoon to help with anything I can should you wish to attend.
Apparently, someone flew into Gatwick for last weekends workshop!
