So what started as a question and answer post has taken on a life of it's own..my inbox is overflowing with enthusiasm and support! Thankyou so much for all of the interest shown, I hadn't really considered running a workshop any time soon but now that I am, I'm hugely excited and really enjoying putting it all together. I've happily chosen Eye Candy as a name that suits me and my love for all things candy coloured!
Over the past few days, I've discovered that there is a wide range of skills amongst you and it would not be practical to run one workshop for everyone so, two it is!
The first, Explore, will be designed for the beginner who doesn't necessarily need to own a DSLR camera. As long as you're inspired to learn, this workshop will help you gain a better undertanding of digital photography and what makes a great image. It will also be a good introduction to image enhancement in Photoshop. This workshop will run from around the end of August for four weeks and be self paced.
The second workshop, Evolve, will be aimed at the serious ameteur or semi-professional who wants to build upon their knowledge to develop more creative, professional images and enhance their Photoshop skills. It will also include lots of tips and information for those considering starting up or growing their own photography business. This workshop will begin around mid October for six weeks and also be self paced.
Both will include an interactive forum.
I've had a good think about how to proceed and have realised that to do this properly and give it the time and attention it deserves, I will need to close my photo session calender for the duration of the workshops. In order to do this, I've had to put what I believe is a reasonable charge in place - I hope this is still appealing to potential participants.
If you're wanting to participate, please click on the Explore and Evolve links above and register.
I am really looking forward to getting to know people better in a fun and inspiring environment.. thanks again for the opportunity to do this :)

Love the name.
See you at the workshop.
Can't wait to have Sheye photos comming from my camera.
This looks fantastic - I didn't register my interest before because I couldn't justify taking up your time and didn't know if you might be offended if I was to insist on making a donation. But the fact you are now actively asking for a fee has actually encouraged me to think seriously about it! Thank you!
My only worry is that I would need to take the beginners workshop but will be away for the first week of September... you say the course is self-paced, does that mean it would be workable even if I was unable to access a computer for the 1st/2nd week?
I can't wait for a bit of shEye Candy!
Yay!
Signed up and paid. Can't wait to get started.
Me be so excited!!
Signed up for evolve and paid! Can't wait ;)
Oh no, because of business trips, I'm not going to have Internet access for most of both of those time spans.
Are you thinking about running these workshops again? I don't mind paying and I would love to learn this material, but I'll have to wait for another time unless my work schedule clears up.

Wonderful! Thanks so much Sheye. I've registered for 'Evolve' and am so looking forward to it. My mum and I are going on holiday to England together in early October and will be back just in time for me to immerse myself. Your course looks perfect. Can't wait!!!
YAY ME!
I just signed up and paid for the class and I could not be more excited!
One quick question, because of the nature of my job, I sometimes have to jump on a place and fly off at the last minute to attend a birth or adoption placement. I was wondering if there will be any printable materials from the tutorials that I could possibly print & take with me to review/study when and if I don't have internet access?
I'm so grateful that you are sharing your talents & gifts with all of us novice, wanna be "Sheye-like" photgraphers!
I had just found your blog when you lost your Sweet, Amazing Ava. I'm not sure words could ever describe how deeply your stunning images and lovely words have touched my heart. Obviously, I never knew Ava, but the photos you have shared of her have absolutely pierced my soul and I am a very proud owner of one of the Super Princess Belle & Boo images. I think of your family every time I see it. It reminds me to count my many blessings and to hold my dear children, a little tighter and a little longer, each night when I tuck them into bed...
Thank you for that gift. I look so forward to learning from you, but I must warn you, I am such a NEWBIE!
Blessings,
Tammy
Are your PS actions going to be included in either of the workshops? Thanks so much, I'm so excited!!
I will be there. Would not miss it and I cant wait!!! I am ready to Evolve...: )
Just registered.
Ready to "wax on, wax off".
Your young Grasshopper,
Tara :)
Hey Sheye!
I didn't register my interest before, but have been stalking your blog waiting for updates! LOL!
I am super keen to do the Evolve one, and just waiting to get approval from DH for the finances! So excited!
Will keep you posted as I convince DH.

Hi Sheye - I am ready to EXPLORE and someday EVOLVE!! You are so creative, I am so excited to learn from you :)!! I'm paid and ready and waiting. My lovely daughter may sign up too. She wants to be a photographer/journalist, might as well get her started.
Hi Sheye, I have been a long time reader of your blog :) and I would desperately LOVE to do one of your photography courses - but am already doing my Uni degree DE, so my calendar is choc-a-block full! Will you be running them again ?? Please say yes!
Very very keen :)
Thanks Sheye,
Take care
