I am interested in finding a workshop- weeklong at lease, where I can be immersed in b&w photo and printing, with coaching. This is a hobby and I have a dark room but I am frustrated by the lack of concentrated time and feedback. Taking a course that meets once a week doesn't help as I really want to be away from my daily life. I was very interested in the Prague School listed in DOUBLETAKE but they don't return calls. Time/location not an issue. Any ideas? Thanks

I have a few workshops that I would reccomend for B&W photography. The first would be the Anderson Ranch in Colorado # 970.923.3181, they offer about 20 photography workshops a year for various levels and interests. The John Sexton Workshop, 408.659.3130, has to be one of the best darkroom experiences available, I have attended 3 workshops with John and if darkroom is your interest this is the one. Ray McSavaney also is a great teacher and artist, 213.225.1730. Each of these worksohps have something to interest the beginner to the expert.

Which country?

Which country are you in?

If in the UK, I often see weekends advertised for specialist printing. I also know an excellent pro printer who might be able to help.
