Mount Board

At last we have found a good local supplier of mounting card!  They are based in Netherhampton.
The card quality is first class - Daler-Rowney 1.4mm thick. There are six colours.  Five have a smooth finish and one with a textured surface.
  • For us they will precut the board to 400x500mm for the same price as their standard 20x16inch. This price starts at £1.00 up to 10 sheets.
  • If you want you can have them with a precut hole for an A3 photograph [£1.50 for 5 cards].
  • You can also buy whole sheets at £5. Size of these is 828x1235mm [or 32.25x48.75inches]. You could get 4 400x500mm cards plus some extra card about 9 inches wide and 32 inches long.
Everthing is negotiable hole, size price, card size, double mounts.
They also have a lot of end-of-run mounts.  These looked really nice. You would have to visit to find out what they have.
  • Please let Peter or Sheila know if you would like to take advantage of these prices and even better prices if we give Frith a bulk order. We will bring the colour swatch next Monday for you to choose.  We suggest that the textured version would be ideal to start off.  It is a delicate ivory white in colour.

2010 Arena Seminar,12th-14th March 2010, Riviera Hotel, Bournemouth

Over the years the annual Arena Seminar has built a reputation as being probably the best seminar on photographic art and practice in the UK. Past speakers include last year's Martin Parr and Tom Stoddart, and before them other leading practitioners such as John Blakemore, Michael Busselle & Denis Thorpe.
Each year enthusiasts from the UK and beyond come to hear presentations from four leading guest speakers and two host Arena speakers. Above all, it is a great opportunity to live and breathe photography for a whole weekend with like-minded people.
Last year was judged by many as our best seminar yet, but looking at this year's provisional programme it looks like we might just surpass ourselves once again! In 2010 we have another exciting line-up of superb photographers who have been provisionally booked for the event.
David Hurn
For many years David has had an international reputation as one of the Britain's leading reportage photographers. Admitted as a full member of Magnum in 1967 he has concentrated much of his time on documenting the dramatic changes that he has witnessed taking place in Wales, where he continues to live and work.
David is also a passionate teacher and set up the famous School of Documentary Photography in Newport. He is in demand throughout the world to lecture and run photographic workshops. His presentation is entitled 'Fifty five years in photography without dying of malnutrition'!
John Swannell
One of the UK's best known photographers, John spent many years working for the likes of Vogue, Harpers and Queen, Tatler and the Sunday Times, developing a very distinctive style of fashion and beauty photography.
He has photographed the Queen for her Golden Jubilee and The Princess Royal for her 40th and 50th birthdays, as well as being commissioned by Diana, Princess of Wales to photograph her with her two children. He has held many one-man shows at prestigious galleries including the Royal Academy in Edinburgh and the National Portrait Gallery in London.
Nick Turpin
Nick is a street photographer who observes and catches that moment in time. He describes his work not as reportage, not art, nor with any great technical craft or aesthetic beauty - 'they are just pictures about life'.
For the past 12 years Nick has been shooting design and advertising projects for clients such as Toyota, Jaguar, Land Rover, VW, IBM, Barclays Bank and Vodafone. He also lectures on street photography at Tate Modern and Yale School of Art, and was recently featured on Radio 4's 'Picturing Britain' series.
Ted Humble-Smith
Ted is recognised as one of the country's leading advertising photographers, producing outstandingly creative images. His highly impressive range of clients include Heineken, Tag Heuer watches, Harrods, GQ sports magazine, Tatler magazine, Glenfiddich, McLaren F1, Chrysler, Mercedes, Sony and Pioneer.
Once an art student of our very own Tony Worobiec, Ted then spent time assisting the likes of Andy Earl. Now specialising in his passion for still life photography, Ted loves the challenge of starting each campaign with an empty studio, knowing that everything in the final image will be there because he placed it or created it. The results are quite stunning! Not surprisingly, last year he won an award with the AOP.
Leigh Preston
Leigh Preston has been involved in photography since 1980 when he joined the Ordnance Survey Photographic Society. He started working in colour slides and A/V, taking mainly landscapes and travel pictures until 1985, when monochrome work began to become an obsession. He holds two RPS Fellowships, gaining a pictorial distinction in 1988, and in 1999, a Fellowship for photographic printing. He lectures all over the U.K. at clubs /societies /seminars and in Education. A bestselling book of his monochrome images, depicting Britain's Industrial landscapes, was published in 1993. He has had several one-man exhibitions in London, Dublin, Manchester, Birmingham and Belfast. Now semi-professional, he works as a photographic printer & college lecturer.
John Chamberlin
Working in many different disciplines, John's work touches on many aspects of the natural world, from landscapes, wildlife and travel. As his many galleries on this website show, he has travelled far and wide in pursuit of his photographic interests. A skilled colour worker, his images appeal to our senses to protect our environment and pause to consider the beauty of the natural world and there's more!
We have a new, improved print review session on Saturday, the ever popular print raffle will be held, and you could take advantage of the hotel's facilities or make the most of Bournemouth town centre and beach. You can find out more about the hotel by visiting the Riviera's website.
Book now to avoid disappointment!
With prices starting at £50 for day attendence, to £175 for the full weekend with two nights accommodation and all meals, the seminar represents remarkable value. But hurry - places are limited are going to be in demand! Please visit the arena website to download a booking form.
See you in March!
Best Wishes,
The Arena administrators
