Due to a scheduling conflict, we’re breaking Susan’s workshop into two workshops!

Her cyanotype workshop will be held later this year.

Her hand-coloring B/W prints workshop has been rescheduled to run up to the opening day of SlowExposures in neighboring Concord, Georgia. Two birds: One stone!

Also, the fee has been reduced accordingly, to $300

Please join us at South x Southeast Gallery, Molena, Georgia, September 14 – 16.

 

Hand-coloring Black & White Photographs

We will explore the creative and expressive possibilities of hand-applied color on black & white photographs using Pan Pastels, oil pastels, and colored pencils. (In addition to bringing 2 B&W photos printed on required paper, students will bring Prisma Colored pencils.)
