brittonie

new website lookin' good so far... i second that the BB is hard to find.

brittonie

I'm not sure if this is the correct place to post this but i saw there was some sort of forest calender in the past. We could make another one, proceeds to fundraiser. I know it's halfway into jan, but we could do all the photos in the next 1.5 weeks and layout is pretty simple. i can take photos, o...

brittonie

not a problem. alt process stuff is pretty different from darkroom. and you can always be around for half the class! But, if you go take some pictures with your holga we can start there if you have a free half day. the enlarger for medium format is not great. but i can teach you enough with it. :) h...

brittonie

wait... when are you leaving???

let me know. I'll teach you as much as i can before you take off.

brittonie

sweet! I'm going to suggest that people still consider if they're interested in the more expensive ones. This won't really be an issue if enough people sign up....i think there should be a min. of 4 people to run it, and keep the cost low. I think we could possibly make the cap 10 people as we won't...

brittonie

oh hey. anyone interested in having an Alternative Process class? I would really really love to teach it, it's all DIY cameras and chemistry. It could go 1 of 2 ways: 1) Run an 8 week class, similar to the Intro to Black and white class. Start with simple techniques, build upon them, while introduci...

brittonie

oh word.
sorry i didn't come in to help today
i'm hacking up a lung.
I'll be in tomorrow and can give it another mopping.

brittonie

brittonie

hey guys. 1: darkroom keys went missing last night post 5pm. (thursday) 2: 6pounds that was paid for darkroom rental also MIA i looked in the log book- i don't know who signed off on payment, and there's only a check I need people to write legibly so i can ask them when there's an issue. I also need...

brittonie

i think using Events@forest.org.uk would be best... i don't know who gets those forwards... but if they can send them along to us... or make them viewable that would be fine you can use my number for contact. 0758 375 4472 but i think there should be another number as well, just as back up (i am not...

brittonie

Ohhh i like the idea of a salon style thing in there for sure! We could do that for some of the works the week before the auction? It would certainly look amazing. Get me a sqeegee i'll be a window washer! I was thinking the other venue would be good for the 2nd auction, and there's be a preview nig...

brittonie

oh and we need help writing the letter of request, there are several people working on it. The more the better.

brittonie

I volunteered my place as a place for storage. We thought it would be best to send out a letter of request to anyone willing to donate art to the cause. This way the same people are not bombarded with letters asking, and can choose to donate small cheep stuff for Dec 11 or Larger more expencive thin...

brittonie

That sounds rad!

brittonie

Hey there, We've got a new system for darkroom usage. I've typed up most of it and put it in a folder in the drawer. From what i can tell, it's pretty similar to the Cave system People who've paid for the Intro to Black and White class will get one free work slot per week, but this hasn't been estab...

brittonie

brittonie

poster for the class WEEE!!!

brittonie

I can do mondays if everyone else can. I won't run the class with less than 3 people... so... if monday evenings work for both of you and we can find a 3rd that would be radical. the class times may vary, anywhere from 2-4 hours (if we have a crit, or in-class worktime....) , so keep that in mind wh...

brittonie

hi guys! So we're thinking of starting the class Tues November 2nd. in the evening. we've lowered the course lab fee, and had to adjust the induction fee... (sorry we're still working everything out) Could i get a show of hands of people who think they'll come and do this? I believe this was the bes...

brittonie

Hey there, in theory the intro to black and white class is going to start in november and end in late december or early january. I was hoping at the end of the course the class could curate a show of the work they did for the gallery. Can i sign up for that? Whatever the closest available week is to...

brittonie

hehe souunds like it would be interesting soup I think maybe holding off till the end of Oct might work for a number of you. there are a bunch of places to get cheap film cameras, car boots, the thrift and bethany shops, or if you're looking for something a little bit more versatility/ control i rec...

I am basically not free until the end of october though.

Well, keep checking back to the board.
I don't want to start the class until there is a min. Of three people, ideally there would be 6... so people can work in pairs.

I'll do my best to keep everyone updated!

brittonie

scout winter- hey, let me know when you're available in a few weeks. I want to include as many people as i can who are interested. I have a lot of free time(non defined schedule) I would really like to consider everyones wishes so as a group we can pick the best meeting/starting times. and, there's ...

brittonie

Hi,

My friend Lara and I are thinking of going- if you dont have a tent you can prolly squeeze in with us. We don't exactly know how to get there yet but up fro the adventure.

brittonie

There is a Jobo processor we found in the darkroom. It looks as though it's working, but needs a dial and a tank... perhaps more? Wondering if anyone knows where it came from, maybe has it's missing pieces? If we could get that into functioning order, people could process their own colour film which...

brittonie

PS

L & i have some experience with screen printing and other printmaking type things, if you need any help with that Steven holler at us- even if it is just for cleaning and organizing.

brittonie

Excellent! If anyone comes across any screens for free please dropp them off in the workroom/darkroom with a note- would be rad! we're hoping to get the drying racks installed this weekend. L& i can be there on tue for the meeting. I've got some lecture at 130 that day but i don't think it will run ...
