Pinhole Camera Workshop
With Patricia Scialo
When: Sunday, April 12
Time: 12pm – 3pm
Tuition: $95
Step away from the digital screen and into the darkroom. Join us for a hands-on journey into the “Camera Obscura,” where a simple cardboard box becomes a powerful tool for art.
In this workshop, you won’t just take photos—you’ll build the camera that captures them. From the “infinite depth-of-field” to dreamy double exposures and fish-eye effects, you’ll learn to see the world through a whole new lens (or lack thereof!). Whether we’re using a cookie tin or a film canister, the results are consistently magical and uniquely yours.
Join us to build, shoot, and develop your own black-and-white prints. Bring an oatmeal container to class.

Portfolio & Website Design for Artists & Photographers
With Camilla Jerome
Dates: Course dates TBA for summer/fall
Develop the tools you need to share your creative work with confidence. In this five‑week intensive, artists and photographers transform their images, videos, and projects into a cohesive digital portfolio and a fully launched website that reflects their unique artistic voice.
Through hands‑on workshops, demonstrations, critiques, and individualized guidance, you’ll learn how to capture, edit, sequence, and present your work with intention. The course walks you through every stage of building an online presence—from shaping your site’s concept and structure to registering a domain and preparing your work for public audiences.
Along the way, you’ll explore best practices in branding, marketing, and professional self‑presentation, gaining the skills to communicate who you are as an artist and where your work is headed.
By the end of the course, you’ll leave with a polished portfolio, a live website, and a set of professional materials ready for clients, galleries, and creative opportunities.
Ideal for: Photographers, visual artists, and creative professionals looking to strengthen their portfolios, establish an online presence, or prepare for exhibitions, client work, or next‑step opportunities.
Outcome: A fully functional website and a refined, professional portfolio that showcases your creative vision!
