Photography Workshop
presented by Cami Calnan

Giving New Life to Old Pictures (Hand Tinting/Coloring Photographs) - Thursday, October 2
5:30 to 7:00 pm

Parents are encouraged to bring their children to this all ages hand coloring class. This fun class will have a large assortment of hand color supplies – ranging from the traditional photo oils to tinting pens to pastels and watercolors – for students to try coloring with as application techniques are discussed and attempted. Each student can bring a photo they would like to add new life to with some color, but there will be prints from the photographer’s collection for students to tint as well, so bringing a print is not necessary. Black and white photos work best, and any finish will work (but matte is the easiest). Sealants and preservation of finalized work will also be discussed and any prints finished during the class will be sealed. Students are asked to bring any ideas or questions they may have as well as eagerness to color! Cost of the workshop is $30/SCHF members and $35/non-members. Reservations are required. Press release.
