New Offering

Mixed Media
2012 Vision Board - Dream your life true
Billie J. Sullivan


Day: Saturday

February: 18

Time: 1:00 - 4:00PM
Fee: $50
Location: The Pebble

This is a fun, relaxing, class with absolutely no art experience necessary. Participants are invited to get in touch with there own realizations and the power they wish to attract.  Imagination really helps in this exercise but spontaneity is key. Meditate on the direction you would like to see your life going, sit down with some magazines and bring in clippings, quotes, feathers, photos, buttons, whatever speaks to your soul to collage into a personal vision board to create a clear new path in the direction you would like to see your life move.

Why not start the New Year with a creative visual exercise to help get you what you want most. I have been creating vision boards a few times a year and have great success in manifesting the kind of life I want to live.

Various backing boards will be supplied.

Materials you may wish to bring: glue stick, colored paper, gift wrap, word clippings, quotes, that can adorn your personal decorative map for the future

Go confidently in the direction of your dreams! Live the life you've imagined. As you simplify your life, the laws of the universe will be simpler.
Henry David Thoreau
US Transcendentalist author (1817 - 1862)

Photography
Darkroom ONE
with Sam Hiser


Day: Tuesdays

Session I: March 6, 13, 20, 27 & April 3, 10
Session II:
April 24 & May 1, 8, 15, 22, 29

Time: 6:30PM - 8:30PM
Fee:
$180 for the six class session
Location:
Barn Studio Darkroom

Introduction to the traditional wet print.  Even if you're a digital photographer, the darkroom is a great place to visit to check your fundamentals and consolidate your vision.  This is a user-friendly immersion into the old method for making gelatin silver prints.  Starting with square portraits under a single light and expanding to subjects of interest to the class, we'll get busy immediately developing medium format Black & White film (120) and making large proof prints on resin-coated (RC) paper using the Ilford Multicontrast filter set.  Students will come away with a mastery of the basic steps for developing their own negatives and independently achieving a strong print in the darkroom.
