As phone and tablet cameras continue to improve and App developments become more advanced, mobile photography – previously considered only suitable for quick snaps and throwaway selfies – is more and more becoming recognised as a legitimate photographic medium. And anyone with a phone or tablet can do it! This course will explore the concepts of digital camera photography (and all that it entails) but through the medium of your own mobile device. Through a mixture of discussion and practical work this course will help you to push the limits of what your phone camera can do. As well as exploring the creative side of photography, we’ll break down some of the technical elements to get a better understanding of photography in general and learn how to achieve similar results using your phone or tablet. We’ll explore useful Apps to help get the desired output from your device and spend time looking at postproduction techniques that can improve and enhance your camera photos beyond a casual snapshot. Some of the Apps we will be looking at include Slow Shutter (iOS), VSCO (iOS/Android), Snapseed (iOS/Android), Adobe Lightroom for Mobile (iOS/Android) and Manual Camera (Android). You do not need to have all these downloaded in advance and, please be aware that depending on the capabilities of your phone, some of the features of these apps may not be available to you. This course is suitable for beginners and requires very little technical knowledge – just an enthusiasm and interest in photography and how to get a little more from your device. Please bring comfy weather-appropriate clothing as there will be some time spent outside shooting.

Did you know that following a cardiac arrest, every minute without CPR and defibrillation reduces a casualty’s chance of survival by 10%?  Sudden cardiac arrest is one the UK’s biggest killers, and yet statistics show that most of the British public are unaware of the life-saving difference they can make by performing CPR and defibrillation.  The QA Level 2 Award in Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Automated External Defibrillation (RQF) is a regulated and nationally recognised qualification that has been specifically designed to provide candidates with the knowledge and skills needed to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and use an AED safely in emergency situations.  With an estimated 60,000 out of hospital cardiac arrests occurring every year in the UK alone, make sure you are prepared!

Tarot Card Reading Course Saturday 12th October 2024 10.00 am to 4.30 pm Tarot cards are the original way to make a reading. Often feared because of the Death card and the dramatic pictures for The Tower. Whereas in reality the Death card simply means New Beginnings and the Tower shows a dramatic change is coming.  The Minor Arcana 56 cards, comprising four suits. Learning to understand the meaning of each suit and the corresponding numbers. Looking at the pictures for clues to really fix the cards into your memory. Exploring using your intuition and knowledge to bring about a greater understanding. You can use effective spreads with just these cards for readings. The Major Arcana 22 cards embellish the story. Each card builds a picture to add with the Minor Arcana cards. Beginning with 0 - The Fool, each card trying to show how the fool is taught about life, past and future. I have always felt the tarot cards give a more exact reading. Being blunt and to the point, leaving no doubt of the meaning. However, always being aware that free will and interpretation are strong, knowing that it is never good to live your life by the cards, using their story for building awareness to situations of the past and where you can, hopefully, move into a different direction for your present and future. You will be shown how to make simple spreads with only three cards, building to a full ten card reading. With practice and patience, you will be able to offer guidance for yourself and friends and family. I also offer guidance on how to give readings for others, reminding of the importance to remain impartial and never offer your own advice within the session. People will remember the reading, good and bad parts and even knowing they should never base their life around the reading, they will! It is a good addition to being a complementary practitioner as the cards can offer guidance as a visual tool for clients. Being a clairvoyant tarot reader does come in handy. I feel it is essential to own a set of cards for this workshop, I will focus on the Rider Waite pack of cards. The Radiant set are particularly good for interpretation as the pictures are somewhat updated from the original pack and are easier to get the meaning embedded into your memory. Set of cards is £17.00 Please say if you would like a pack of cards when booking your place. If you have other sets you would like to bring along, that is great. We can compare them to help with the interpretation. There will be some reading for you to complete before the course to ensure learning on the day runs smoothly. Cost for the day workshop is £80. Deposit of £30 required on booking.  Balance to be paid 48 hours before the course date.  £17.00 for the set of cards to use during the workshop. A non-refundable deposit is required to secure your place for all courses. Personal tuition: If you feel you would like to learn the Tarot on a private basis this will suit you. Private 1 to 1 teaching of Tarot. 5 hours for £152 Deposit of £52 on booking If you feel you would benefit from this tuition you can book your own date.
