CREATIVE EXPLORATION: FAILING IN ORDER TO SUCCEED, GRIFFIN MUSEUM OF PHOTOGRAPHY, ONLINE. Dates & Times: Five sessions, Jan 6 – March 3, 2025, every other week. Monday evenings online, 6:30pm-8:30pm, ET. Class days will be Jan 6, 20 / Feb 3, 17 / Mar 3, 2025.
Join for a class in “failing up”! This course will include readings, discussions, and brave leaps into the unknown. It will meet bi-weekly, allowing time in between for thinking and testing out theories, with access to a digital classroom between online meetings to post work in progress and ask questions. If you have been feeling the urge to try something new in your practice, you will find a supportive environment, feedback, and inspiration in this course. Link to enroll:

STUDENT GALLERY
As an educator, nothing makes me happier than to see students enthusiastically engaged in process, in learning, and in producing work that excites them. This page is a place for me to thank all of my students, past and present, for allowing me to learn alongside them. I am privileged to show a small sample of their work here. I am so proud of all of you!
TRADITIONAL FILM PHOTOGRAPHY AND DARKROOM
Students in analog classes learn the underlying science, how to use their camera controls, and move on to the darkroom to develop and print their film. These classes often include an introduction to alternative process techniques to reinforce basic principles of light sensitivity. They build pinhole cameras, try their hand at cyanotype and other alternative process printing methods, and experiment with silver gelatin papers, printing, toning, and hand-applied photographic sensitizers. Critique sessions help students gain the ability to discuss their work articulately and refine their focus. These images show students ranging from middle school to college undergraduates in a variety of classes and employing a number of techniques. All classes incorporate discussion of photographic ethics and a more inclusive look at the history of the medium.
COURSES AND WORKSHOPS IN ALTERNATIVE PROCESS
Workshops and individual tutorials are offered in a variety of historic, alternative, and experimental processes. Participants range in experience from hobbyists to undergrads and masters students to seasoned professionals and many other educators. I am constantly amazed by how much students absorb and produce in a semester or a one or two day session. This is a sampler of some of student images in a range of techniques, both two and three dimensional.
INTERDISCIPLINARY PROJECTS
These courses are designed for image makers interested in exploring three-dimensional work, sculptors wishing to engage in print making, or for emerging installation artists. Students or workshop participants gain familiarity with contemporary artists working across media boundaries and learn to focus their concept, develop a plan, source materials, prioritize and order tasks, and complete their project within a set time frame.
Images below are of work produced in Interdisciplinary Projects at Harvard Ceramics program.
Pictured are students from The Sculptural Photograph, Summer Youth Program, Lesley University, 2016 and they had only FOUR WEEKS to produce their work. They not only accomplished but surpassed their goals while learning new skills.
