Photo workshop and exhibition coming to SJG

by aleks
There was a spring photo workshop with  Ray Pfortner in Japanese Garden, and the exhibition of the top photos from his class is about to be mounted on Sunday, October 7, 2-5 pm in Tateuchi Community Room (more on the exhibition in the next post, coming in a few days). The fall photo workshop is coming to the Garden soon and here is info from Ray's flyer, if you didn't see it:

Mixed-Media Photography workshop

For All Visual Artists at the Seattle Japanese Garden

With Ray Pfortner, Educator & Photographer

Improve your camera and composition skills - no matter what your final art medium - by photographing the Japanese Garden with exclusive early morning and evening access at the peak of fall foliage. Learn by doing - shooting, sharing the test results for online and in-class critiques, having your work juried, and by exhibiting your art whether a framed photograph, painting, drawing or in some other technique.

Be part of a juried, mixed-media show at the Garden in 2013 - and explore how to prepare your work for exhibiting from selecting and pricing to framing and hanging.

For all visual artists with any camera and any level of experience who want to get more out of their camera   and do more with their photography, whether making photographs for framing or for artist's reference to render later in your medium of choice.


Bring 5 samples of your work to the first Saturday session, bring your camera, extra batteries, your battery chargers, extra memory cards and warm clothing to both Saturday sessions.

Friday, October 12, 6:30-8:30 pm

Saturday, October 13 & 27, 7-11am & 2-6pm

Tuition: $220 ($200 for Garden Members)

Materials: $20
