Induction sessions have been scheduled for artists or enthusiasts interested in using the new community facilities at Perth Creative Exchange.
Local glass maker and Perthshire Artisan, Jane Drysdale of Berkley Glass, will be delivering introductory sessions to the Glass Kiln. The sessions will include an introduction to the kiln itself, what it actually does, basic health and safety and equipment needed.
Paul Adair will lead the introductory sessions at the new darkroom. He has extensive experience of film photography and was a former professional darkroom technician before becoming curator of photography at Perth Art Gallery. There will be an opportunity to register an interest in future photography and darkroom workshops. You will get to handle a variety of film cameras from the humble Box Brownie to fully professional cameras in a variety of formats.

The community assets are tools that members of the local community can use without the costs of a regular membership or rent. You only pay for what you use, for instance for the kilns, you will pay for the electricity used, and for the dark room a small fee towards the replenishment of chemicals used.
