Digital Photography (One Day Seminar) |
$75 | Scott Bulger | Adults and Teens |
Sunday 9:00-3:00 July 17 or August 14 |
Digital photography has many advantages over traditional film photography. Digital photos are convenient, allow you to see the results instantly, don't require the costs of film and developing, and are suitable for software editing and uploading to the Internet. While shooting on film will always have a place in the world of photography, digital models have taken over the consumer camera market almost completely. If you own or are planning to buy a digital camera, this class will take you beyond point-and-shoot and help you get more out of it. |

experience rather than rules to follow. Find the hidden wave of passion
that lies just bellow the surface if most peoples lives, a passion
yearning to be liberated from the paralyzing myths of talent, skill,
inspiration, success and failure, and just plain not being good enough. |

Painted
canvas floor cloths
|
$50 | Robert Dorr | Adults and Teens |
July 10 or August 14 9:00am
– 3:00pm
|
These
are marvelous substitutes for rugs, in rooms where they might not be
appropriate. I use mine in front of the stove, and when I go camping. I
will be providing the primed canvas; it’s a seriously heavy weight
material so it is unlikely to slip. In the morning we’ll be painting the
canvas with acrylics so that they’re fast drying. After lunch, we’ll
do any touch ups and apply the layers of high gloss polyurethane. If you
wish to bind the edges I’ll tell you how to do it at home, once the
surface is completely dried. I prefer the look of an unbound edge, but you
may prefer something different. |
