DAY ONE: Photography Workshop with Tony Ferguson: Photo Shoot & Basic Image
Editing for Artists - March 3rd, 2007.

photography.

In this one day Photography Workshop, participants will leave with the
ability to document work with continuous lighting, setup professional
backgrounds and lighting, and understand various camera settings with either
digital or film based cameras. This workshop will emphasize the digital
media and cover the techniques necessary for creating prints, slides, and
digital images for such applications as juried exhibitions, zapplication,
art fairs, documentation, grant applications, catalogues and the web. The
first part of the workshop will be a photo shoot of participants artwork
while the second part of the workshop Tony will give a slide show covering
related issues and demonstrate editing techniques on participant's work in
Photoshop Elements. Tony will also discuss some of the commercial products
available for professionally photographing your artwork and will bring a
lighting setup specifically for 3D as well as 2D artists. Note:
Participants are welcome to bring one art work (less than 24" in height in
either direction).

DAY TWO: Clay Workshop With Ceramic Artist Tony Ferguson - March 4th, 2007

Tony will demonstrate various throwing, altering and forming methods
including faceting, interior/exterior manipulation, sculptural treatments
with throwing techniques that emphasize technique over strength. Tony will
be making both traditional functional pottery as well as demonstrate ways in
which to push the work into the sculptural realm. Demonstrations will cover
the use of the wheel and construction of forms by altering work both on and
off the wheel as well as multiple part pieces thrown and put together. Tony
will have tea bowls, tea cups and other work for sale at the workshop
including a new tool line he has developed.

I am pleased to host Minnesota Ceramic Artist Tony Ferguson in my studio for
a 2 day - weekend workshop. Both days of the workshop will provide valuable
information both in photographing your own ceramic work and clay forming
techniques demonstrated by Tony. These two fun days at my studio will be
loaded with the right stuff you need to know in two critical areas necessary
for your own artistic growth.

Reservations are limited to 15 people each day.
I wouldn't want you to miss either day. So right now, fire off an email to
me saying you want to attend both sessions!
