If you are interested in the craft of fine art photographic printmaking and creating better prints, I am now offering private full-day mentoring sessions at my print studio in either Melbourne, Australia or Mariestad, Sweden. This is an opportunity for you to work with an award-winning master printer and Moab master to create beautiful prints from your digital files.
