The Bromoil Circle of Great Britain was formed in 1931 by Sam Weller FRPS and brought together leading practitioners of the Bromoil process, many of whom were - and are - members of the RPS. The Circle has recently deposited its archive of more than 600 Bromoil prints from former members and contemporary practitioners with the RPS In Bristol. This event celebrates the transfer with a display of examples from the archive, a demonstration of the process and workshop led by Circle President Ken Hill.
The events are free, but places on the workshop and demonstration are limited. The timings for the day are:
10.00am. RPS House opens
10.30am. Display from the Bromoil Circle Archive on view all day in the auditorium (no booking required)
11.00am. Demonstration of the Bromoil process by Ken Hill FRPS. Limited to 40 people
14.00pm. Bromoil workshop with Ken Hill FRPS. Numbers limited to 8 participants.
