See below for Photography & Digital Media courses for adults. These courses are not designed for under 18s unless stated.
Please note, most courses require a minimum of four participants to run. If we do not receive enough bookings the course will be cancelled a few days before it was due to start, and your money will be refunded. Refunds cannot otherwise be given unless the course has a waiting list and your place can be filled. Please book early as many of our popular courses sell out quickly.
INTRODUCTION courses are suitable for people with no experience of the software/technique, but digital courses will require computer literacy.
NEXT STEPS are suitable for those who have either attended an INTRO version of the same course (if available) or have a similar level of experience (a good grasp of the basic technique through another course).
