The more serious advanced ones are the ones I am booking. I am happy to work with that but surprised that the others haven't taken off.

Maybe it's to do with how I am marketing (or not)?
As someone new to film processing I hope to take advantage of courses offered by yourself and/or people like yourself to help learn the skills of the darkroom, however my biggest problem is location and financing the venture so I'm looking forward to the time when I can enjoy one or more of your courses.

As was said earlier its early days and there must be many people like myself who need the expertise of people like yourself to help us master the art of film processing and printing.

Two great answers, thanks... And yes, it's early days.

Good point Paul about the vacationers not wanting to commit to the weekend courses. I have just taken delivery of Ilford's new Pinhole camera. That comes with Direct Positive paper, as well as Delta 100 and MGRC, I will be offering one day workshops that include the kit (retail at £69) for £100. I think that's something like what you were suggesting?

Thank you for the encouragement. This is an untried model so it is good to hear positivity.

Erik, I hope you can join us on something soon.
