Guild traing
Is anyone else getting upset that the Fine Art Guild only hold courses in London? I have tried to take this up with them and to be fair I could have been better talking to a brick wall.

Re: Guild traing
Is there any particular reason why this training has to be with the Guild? Please excuse me asking, but your initial post does not say why!

No I don't mind where I get my training but I do pay my guild membership and they send me emails regarding courses. All of which are in London. Happy to attend other courses if they are advertised and closer.
Re: Guild traing
Some might say that's a bit like buying yourself an annual season ticket to the Tower of London and complaining that they don't have anything near you.
Re: Guild traing
I seem to have survived 33 years framing without venturing to the metropolis for training.
I lost a bit of confidence in the FATG when both signatures on my cert faded to nowt.

Re: Guild traing
Wonder what the 'Top Secret' communication said
I thought there were other places around the country where you can train, like Lion and Wessex offering courses plus there are a number of framers that offer training (most up to Guild level)
Or I could be wrong
