This weekend I’m doing a demo that if you’re local, I’d love for you to come join in!

It is hosted at one of the local art stores, Opus!

The demo is between 2-4 and of course I’ll be chatting about how to create double exposures through film, polaroid and digital techniques.  A “sit down and listen to me chat” is not really my style so I’ve created a demo in which you can be involved!

It will be kind of like a collaborative double exposure community experiment!  I’ll have a whole collection of cameras and film that have double exposure capabilities that we’ll be experimenting with.  Yes, you’ll be invited to take some photos with these camera and I’ll get them developed and share some of the results on the blog!

Feel free to bring your own camera that has double exposure capabilities, even if you haven’t tried double exposures on them and we can chat about how to double expose with your gear.

I’m creating a little zine of info for the workshop, so if you do plan to come, I’d love it if you could let me know so I have a sense of how many people to make zine’s for.  You could either let me know via the comments or join the facebook event page (and feel free to invite anyone here in Vancouver you think might be interested)!

I’m excited to share that I’ll be doing a demo in early May at a local art store!

I’ll be chatting about creating double exposures and ways to do that with Polaroid, film cameras as well as digitally.  I also have an interactive activity planned so those who come by will be part of a collaborative double exposure experiment we’ll be doing.  I’ll be at the Downtown Vancouver Opus Art Store.  It isn’t a formal 2 hours straight demo, but more like a casual drop-by and learn kind of event!  I’m mighty excited for this.  Opus is an incredible art store so you can also drop by and stock up on some supplies while you’re there.

So, here’s the details:

I hope to see you there!

I love teaching online courses, but after having my first in-person teaching experience at Create Magic Workshop this past fall, I was hooked.  As an online teacher, I have a bit of an obsession with connecting with students and giving them feedback on each and every image they so bravely share.  I adored getting to give people feedback in person, getting to cheer on their images moments after they took them, getting to give them in the moment cheerleading and answer their technical questions.

So when the Whistler Arts Council asked me to teach an in-person 2 Day version of You are Your Own Muse it really felt like a dream manifesting in reality.

On August 18th & 19th we are going to gather in the gorgeous town of Whistler, British Columbia and spend the weekend telling our stories through photos and discovering self-portraiture in a supportive, connected environment.

This photography workshop invites students to explore their artistic voice through photography and to explore the world of self-portraiture and personal storytelling.  Participants will be invited to develop their photography skills through supportive, playful and outside of the box activities.  This workshop invites you into a way of approaching photography and self-portraiture that is freeing, empowering and by the end of the workshop you will discover the photographer in you.

I’m so thrilled that the workshop is pretty affordable at $169 for the 2 days of classes.  They’ll also be sharing info on the Whistler website about some special hotel rates they’ve set up for participants.

To add to the goodness, the Whistler Arts Council who are the hosts of this workshop, are doing something special.  For all those who register for one of their Workshops on the Lake during the month of March, each person will be entered into a draw to win a $200 gift certificate…which in the case of this workshop would mean that if you win your tuition would be free!  So I definitely recommend signing up early.

Registration just opened so you can click here to secure your spot in the workshop.

There are only 10 spots available total so if you’d like to join me, I recommend signing up soon (plus, the chance of winning the gift certificate by registering early is pretty dreamy).
