This workshop will explore portraiture through vibrant paint application and patterns. Beginner painters are welcome!

An introduction to black and white film photography, which includes learning to process film and print black and white 35mm negatives. Class will meet to take pictures near Harwood, bring the film rolls to the darkroom and develop them. Each student will then have the chance to make a contact sheet of the film strips and choose the negatives to print by learning how to analyze printable negatives. Students will then print the chosen negatives on black and white paper. Students will know how to take good exposures by learning about the exposure triangle (aperture, shutter speed, ISO). They will learn the importance of a good exposure on the quality of their negatives and ultimately, the quality of their photographic prints.

In this exciting collage workshop, we will spend a full day producing and experimenting, creating a series of dramatically-textured surfaces on paper using a wide range of mixed-media. On day two, we will create beeswax collages with our textures and seal them with melted beeswax to create compelling, glowing, finished works of art. Participating artists will also come away with a great assortment of textured collage papers for future projects. All materials included… but bring anything you’d like to play with!
