All sessions are a full day - Saturday or Sunday - running from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Workshop venues are conveniently located in Brussels, either at the studios of Creatif Images (in Ixelles) or the Hotel Silken Berlaymont in the EU area, and directions are provided with booking confirmation. Darkroom and other ad hoc workshops are usually held at the British School of Brussels in Tervuren, which is a 15 minute drive from central Brussels and is readily accessible by tram.
The workshop registration fee is typically 135 euros for club members and full time students (150 euros for non-members), however special courses such as in the darkroom may be slightly higher. Please check detailed information pages by clicking on the workshop topics above.
Refreshments and a light lunch are included, plus a full set of workshop notes. Projected slides are extensively used to illustrate principles covered in most sessions.
