There had been considerable interest expressed by members about such courses and it was very helpful indeed to hear in detail how this worked for Chris. He talked us through each of the three full-time terms and showed us examples of his assignments and final project. For this, he carried out an in-depth study of the production of Harris Tweed in the Scottish Highlands, photographing the surrounding landscapes which inspire the colours and textures of the cloth as well as the different stages of production. We all registered that not only did this involve tuition fees, but also the cost of materials, travel and accommodation - most students on the course were self-financing and Chris carried on working throughout the course.There were plenty of questions for Chris and a lively discussion rounded off the evening - judged in the pub afterwards as being very enjoyable and useful.
