Preparing for an Exhibit-
Are you ready to share your photographs with the world? Or at least with some friends at the CPC on July 20th? Good for you! But listen…before you jump out of the nest, make sure you can fly. This class will prepare you for a photography show in any venue. Learn how to select which images to show and how to print them for the light they will be shown in; how to cut mats, then mount, frame and sign your work; how to prepare the wall surface and compose and hang a show; how to light your work. Yup – it’s a lot of work. But you will be surrounded and supported by other students who are committed to the same goal. And an instructor with years of photography experience. This class will be offered in our June session - CLICK HERE for registration details!
