Location: Dartmoor
Cost: see website

More info: Good documentation is key to selling your work –– high quality video recordings of performances or on-screen representations of paintings, sculptures and other work can increase the odds in your favour. Spend a day learning how to handle a video camera, use simple and effective lighting techniques and come away with the ability to make your work look absolutely fabulous! You’ll be using semi-pro equipment that is high quality but not too frightening. However, if you also want to bring along your own camera to learn more about using it, that’s fine too. As with all AHA workshops, numbers are limited, you are guaranteed some hands-on experience, and you are taught by experienced artists.
