Tuesday, 10/4/2022
2:00PM-5:00PM  
Instructor: Alan Cradick 
CAM member: $52; Not-yet-member: $65 
It's time to stop thinking of your smartphone as a phone with a camera in it and think of it as a camera with a phone in it. I am often asked, "What is the best camera to have." I have always felt that it is the one in your hand, or pocket. Today's smartphone comes equipped with a capable camera. Using algorithms to assist in compiling the image, the results can be stunning. In this workshop we will explore the native photographic capabilities that are already in your smartphone and tablet. All you need is an iOS or Android device and your curiosity to liven up your social media. This is a three hour workshop for everyone.

Creative Intuitive Painting

10:00AM-12:00PM  
Instructor: Carolyn Faulkner 
CAM member: $116; Not-yet-member: $145 
Loosen up, let go, and learn how to paint from intuition. No technique to learn, no self judgment or criticism allowed! Class begins with an inspiring reading and then a guided meditation to lead you into your painting. Using professional tempera paints and a variety of paint brushes and other objects to paint with, you will choose a color and a brush that you are drawn to and go back and forth to the table for new colors and paint tools each time you are ready. This class opens you up to so many things other than painting freely. Unblock your spirit and your mind! No painting experience necessary but professionals will benefit from this class also.

Rembrandt used this method to relay his spontaneous, expressive drawing style, creating rich blacks as well as subtle shades of gray. Students will learn the basics of plate making, inking and printing using an etching press. Students are asked to come to first class with an image or drawing they wish to use for their plate
