Our large purpose built teaching studio is fully equipped. All courses are taught on iMacs running OSx 10.7 (Lion).

Class sizes are limited to a maximum of 14 students. If you’d prefer 1-to-1 tuition, please email or call.

We’ve recently shifted the focus of our work here at The Film & Video Workshop to our youth projects*, so we won't be running courses for adults after this Summer term. Our tutors will continue to run some of their courses here independently and soon you will be able to contact them directly to find out more about their plans (we’ll post links and contact details as soon as they become available).

*The Film & Video Workshop will very much be continuing as an educational charity and our resources and facilities will continue to be put to good use. We want to thank each and every one of you who has attended our courses in the past and say how grateful we are to you for taking the time to give us such positive and encouraging feedback.
