The Framers Forum

Just wanted to pop in and introduce myself!

Myself and my artist husband run an art gallery and framing shop in Halifax. www.thegreenwoodtreegallery.com

I'm looking forward to having a good nosey round your forum

Thanks

Jo

Hi and welcome.

I know Halifax and the Piece Hall well. I used to have a darkroom at Dean Clough and had my first solo photograghy exhibition there back in 2005. My work is still on display in the corridor of E-Mill if you ever visit Dean Clough. We used to enjoy performances by Northern Broadsides there. Anyway, enjoy the forum

Thanks David, I will certainly have a pop down! I used to work down in D MIll and F MIll so I know the place well

We had a recent exhibition in our gallery for a Photographer called Mark Voce - Shadows of Industry. You maybe know him, he loves his archival print processing and traditional photography stuff!

Hi Jo,

Welcome aboard!!!

You will find a friendly crowd here & please don't be afraid to ask any questions - there is no such thing as a silly question - but do be prepared for a few silly answers - depending on the "wine" of night...

Please also check out the FF Live event - which is only a couple of weeks away - a bit of a trek to Stratford - but all free & a great chance to see a good variety of stuff & chat with other forum folk in a very easy going atmosphere - all in all "A Grand Day Out"!!!

Welcome Jo

Never met Mark Voce but know his work well. Always a bit envious of folk who keep up with traditional printing although I still use film and do my own processing I now scan and print. When we lived in Scotland I learnt how to print polymer photogravures and realized it was a great way to combine traditional film photography with computer editing and intaglio printing with an etching press. So I went out and bought an etching press. Then I got into framing Will have to devote more time to my photography soon
