Do Your Bit

It's that time of year again for all Spring Fling participants, and supporters too of course, to start spreading the Spring Fling word. Of course your SF committee through the fantastic aid of your Spring Fling coordinator Rhiannon have already started planning and activating the marketing campaign for 2010 but you need to play your vital part too.
Through each individual participant SF can access a huge potential audience with not too big an effort on your part. Are you a member of an arts organisation? The National Glass Society / Scottish Potters Association / Axisweb / craftscotland / Applied Arts Scotland / Visual Arts Society? Most of these organisations to name but a few offer the chance for members to put "what's on" listings in their newsletters and on their websites. Those organisations that produce a newsletter are always on the look out for articles about what their members are up to, why not tell them about your Spring Fling experience or why you have decided to participate this year and send an image with it. It's exposure for yourself and for the event. Happy promoting everyone!

Digital Photography Courses

Spring Fling 2010 participant Ed Baxter is running a series of digital photography courses for 2010 from his studio in Thornhill.

"Learn how to create better photographs, with your digital camera, from a lifelong professional photographer. You will be based in a working studio using all the equipment and facilities along with shooting at local locations. You will be encouraged to be more creative in your approach to the work. The emphasis will be on how to get the most out of your digital camera using natural and artificial lights. There are two levels of courses available, the basic introductory and the more in-depth intermediate courses."
