The Burren College of Art (www.burrencollege.ie) is offering the following summer workshops which may be of interest to members….

Extending the Photography - Cyanotype as an alternative process with Martina Cleary
August 4th – 7th €300 + €15 Starter Pack

The Cyanotype process was invented by Sir John Herschel in 1842. It is a very versatile means of creating a photographic image, using a light-sensitive liquid, which can be painted onto any kind of porous surface. Once this is then exposed to sunlight and developed, the result is an image of deep vibrant blue. Once created, the image can later be drawn into or hand painted. Using a variety of sources from photographs to photocopies, drawings, text and found objects, participants will learn how to create cyanotype prints. Using contact negatives and simple photogram techniques students will learn how to transfer person al imagery onto a variety of surfaces, including paper, textile, wood and stone.
This course is suitable for all levels, from beginners in photography right through to advanced students. It is a technique which is also attractive to those with an interest in traditional printing or painting. Students will receive a Starter Pack which includes ten sheets of acetate and two sheets of Fabriano paper.


Photojournalism with Julien Behal
August 4th – 6th €290 + €10 Starter Pack

This workshop is designed to give committed amateur photographers opportunities to work and study with a working professional photojournalist. The primary focus of the workshop is to help photographers who are seeking to advance their work, redirect their focus and take their storytelling to another level. With a good balance between theory and practice, photographers will receive portfolio evaluations, slide shows presentations tracing the history of photojournalism and two full afternoons on shooting assignments. Each participant will then get to showcase their work on the final day.
This course is ideal for any photographer wishing to break into photojournalism and looking for valuable professional tips, contacts and help to guide them in the right direction. All applicants must have an understanding of the technical aspects of digital photography, including editing software. The workshop does not provide cameras or laptop computers but participants will get a Starter Pack of five A4 colour prints and one 3’x 2’ print of their work. Students are expected to come prepared as if they were shooting a real assignment.
