You've found us on Facebook, seen us on Instagram and maybe discovered our website too www.squeakybinders.co.uk - well soon you'll be able to come and meet us in our Bindery Shop which will be OPENING for two days a week from the 11th October 2022 - on Tuesdays and Thursdays - so you can just drop in between 11am and 4pm for all things Squeaky.
Find us on the outskirts of Bodmin, a couple of miles up the road from Lanhydrock House.

We have very mixed feelings about writing this but “Shut until further notice” has turned into “Closed permanently” and the South West Photography School will not be taking any more enrolments nor running any further courses.

Graham should have retired from teaching some years ago (was that a chorus of Hear! Hear! In the background?!) and the pandemic triggered what could be put off no longer.

We met some absolutely wonderful people in the years that we ran the school and both of us remember with huge affection the debates and laughter around our old pine table and the activities we shared and recall with great pleasure our students’ celebrations of their successes – Thank You to each and every one of you – you are a very special bunch!

We have very mixed feelings because while the school is now closed, the SWPS Partnership continues with our new adventure Squeaky Binders. Please come and visit our new website www.squeakybinders.co.uk to see what we’ve been doing and of course there’s our page where you can Follow us and splash as many Likes around as you feel able – hope to see you all there!

Can’t believe how quickly all of our lives have been changed by Covid 19. SWPS Is shut until further notice and Graham and I just want to send our best wishes to all of our students and friends. Stay safe, stay well and most importantly please stay home. Take care and thanks everyone for your support from Lynn and Graham.

Hi
So pleased to let everyone know that Graham’s brilliant book Relic and Ruins based around his beautiful, atmospheric mining heritage photographs is now available to buy at two lovely local bookshops - Lost in Books in Willow and Atticus in Lostwithiel and Wadebridge Bookshop in Wadebridge! - as well as at the school. Hope you can support. Lynn

We are so pleased to announce even more RPS success, this time for two of our students. Debbie and Alastair achieved their LRPS Distinctions at the beginning of the month and we are utterly delighted for them both. We have worked with them for the last couple of years and been impressed by their commitment to our courses and the determination needed to succeed travelling all the way from Somerset every month. Two totally different and interesting panels which showed all the skills and photographic seeing which the judges look for and the individual personality of the author just shines through - great news, congrats and very well done. 15 success stories so far - amazing! - and still more photographers working with us towards their goals. If this is something you’ve always wanted to do then contact us, we’d love to help you too. Visit our website www.southwestphotographyschool.or arrange to come and have a chat.
