Copper Bowl Workshop Part Two with Emily
The beloved Copper Bowls are going to get a little sibling! Join this workshop to make a mini Copper Bowl from scratch!
In this workshop, you will be piercing, filing, annealing, forming and finishing.
Open to all, but ideal for those who have done the Copper Bowl Workshop before, wanted to make another but didn’t want to book onto the same session again. In this workshop, we’re going to make a smaller bowl, of which you’ll be cutting out first! This means you can get a little funky with the edges if you so wish, but if you don’t want to, you can still make a little round one.
This workshop will be three hours; you can choose the afternoon (2-5pm) or evening slot (6-9pm).
This workshop will take place at The Colour Factory in Winchester. All materials are included.
This workshop is £75pp.

Landscapes & Gardens Photography Workshop with Simon Bray
Within the session, we will explore the theme of landscapes and gardens, finding inspiration in example images and photobooks, before working both individually and in pairs/groups to create new work and inform broader discussions about photographic techniques and ideas. We will then have time to review and evaluate the images that have been made and consider how to develop our approach in the future.
You will be required to bring your own camera, whether that’s a DSLR, mirrorless or your phone. Preferably you would have a camera that has the potential for full manual controls, but if you are confident using your phone, that will be sufficient.
Workshops are designed to be suitable for all levels and abilities. Simon will be able to offer bespoke advice and support for each photographer dependent on individual needs, including the basics of exposure and how to set up your camera to photograph the relevant theme. At the end of the workshop you will have created a new collection of images as well as learnt the required skills in order to continue photographing in your own time.
This workshop takes place on Sunday 13th July from 10am to 1pm; it costs £55 per person. If you wish to book onto the complete four sessions, there is a booking discount available.

If you have any questions, please email: simonj.bray@gmail.com
