If I wanted lessons in colour photography in 1933-1935 and was willing to pay, where would I go? Full disclosure: "I" am László Moholy-Nagy, my ex-wife Lucia Moholy has set up the lessons in the UK for me (probably in London) and I go on to use Dufaycolor, Vivex and the Finlay colour processes among others. Could I have got lessons through the RPS colour group? Who was not just using these processes, but teaching them at the time? Lucia would go on to teach at the London School of Printing and Kindred Trades (later London School of Printing and Graphic Arts) and the Central School of Art and Design, in case either of these are possibilities? All help appreciated and credited!

It is my absolute pleasure to announce that from the 24 April (yes I know it is May please don’t judge me) to 19 June 2021 Llantarnam Grange will be hosting Phrame Wales newest exhibition Ode To Anna.

Ode to Anna is a celebration of the legacy of Anna Atkins, one of the first female photographers and champion of the Cyanotype process. This show exhibits work by members of Phrame that has either been inspired by Atkins or draws attention to her innovation and the themes surrounding her images. Ode to Anna not only highlights the lasting impression she has made on the photographic world and its history but showcases a range of photographic processes being practiced within South Wales today.⁠
