Uncomplicated Photography Workshop with AIR Ren Buenviaje

June 28th 2pm to 3:30pm
Overwhelmed by photography jargon like "ISO" and "aperture size"? Or maybe you know these things but your photos still seem to be missing some oomph? Improve your photography by mastering the art of looking. We'll talk about various ways to frame your subjects and add visual interest to your photos before going out, weather permitting, to put your new learnings into practice. Bring your favorite camera--even a phone will do!--and a small subject to shoot, like a fruit or a bag charm.
RSVP HERE
Creative Screen Printing Workshop with Ren Buenviaje

July 12th from 2pm to 4pm
Screenprinting can seem like an expensive and high effort undertaking, but you can get started with just a screen and a few simple supplies. Bring some old clothes (preferably natural fiber) and/or scrap fabric to practice on; we'll provide the rest.
$15 charge for screen that you can keep
