Shanberg & Slota: Getting Known / Being Shown
Sat-Sun, July 5-6
Do
you feel that if only you had the right portfolio, success would be within
your reach? Do you wonder how to present your photographs to a commercial
gallery, magazine editor, not-for-profit artists space, and/or museum? Do
you know what grants, fellowships, and artist’s residencies are
available to you? Are you unsure of how to utilize the Internet to advance
your career? Which portfolio events to attend? How to price your prints?
Are you yearning to have your photographs published? Join Ariel &
Gerald as we explore how to negotiate the art world from the vantage point
of a successful artist and a well-versed curator.
This
two-day intensive is for committed photographers who have produced a
developed body of work they are ready to bring into the world but aren’t
sure where and how to begin. This kind of group discussion is dreamed
about but rarely heard! In class you will learn how to refine your resume,
present your portfolio, and create an artist statement. The workshop will
include portfolio reviews and each student’s images will receive Ariel
and Gerald’s undivided attention. You will leave this workshop ready to
hit the real world, with more
confidence and a map for your professional journey. Past participants of Getting
Known / Being Shown have gone on to win awards, receive solo shows,
secure commercial representation, get published in major publications, and
realize their dreams.

Encaustics & Photographic Processes
2
dates to choose from:
Co-hosted
with R&F Handmade Paints, this four-day hands-on workshop will provide
you with the basic working knowledge to combine photographic processes
with the encaustic medium. Encaustic, an ancient Greek wax-based medium,
can be used to give unusual dimension to your work, provide new substance
and body to a photograph, add translucent layers, alter the illusion of
space, and transform your imagery. This interdisciplinary workshop will
combine presentations, step-by-step instruction, and plenty of time to
experiment and make new work.
On
days one and two
at the Center for Photography at Woodstock we will explore creative
ways to work with photography and encaustic and see inspiring examples
including the work of Joel Peter Witkin and Doug & Mike Starn. Then we
will roll up our sleeves and prepare our images, experimenting with
various photographic processes including toning, coloring, cyanotypes,
digital prints, digital negatives, and a variety of transfer techniques. On days three and four at the encaustic studio at R&F Handmade
Paints, we will learn about the many ways to incorporate the photographic
images with the encaustic process. We will learn about the many different
effects including layering, optical effects, intensification of light and
depth in an image, and how to make imagery translucent. The class will
also cover archival techniques, methods of presentation, and basic safety.
This is a class about experimentation: leave your old ideas behind and
open the doors to new possibilities and processes! To learn more about the
encaustic process please visit the R&F website www.rfpaints.com.
DANIELLE
CORREIA is an interdisciplinary artist who received her BFA in
Photography and Sculpture from The University of Montana. She has been
working at R&F since 1999, where she discovered encaustics, and has

Lesbian Community Center in NYC and has taught encaustic classes from

and nationally.

Ruben:
The Female Eye: Women Seeing Women
Sat-Sun
July 19-20
Photographing the body is a
difficult and exciting challenge. The human body, and particularly the female body, has always played an
important role in photography. Women have a particular view of their
body and often treat it as landscape, as portrait, and as body inhabited
by dreams and expectations. Therefore we are offering this workshop to female image-makers of all
types and ages who wish to explore the celebrations of the female form.
ERNESTINE
RUBEN, an
artist and teacher for 3 decades, is a spirited leader whose emphasis in
teaching is to help her students further define their personal creative
voices. Her highly acclaimed work has been exhibited worldwide at venues
including Houston Museum of Fine Arts, the International Center for
Photography in NYC, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Musee d'Art
Moderne in Paris, and Bibliotheque Nationale also in Paris. Her work
resides in collections at the Rodin Museum in Paris, Stanford University,
Maison Europeene de la Photography, the Museum of Modern Art Paris, and
The Detroit Institute of Art. Published in many books including In
Human Touch, Ruben on Rodin, The Art of Enhanced Photography, 21st-
Journal of Contemporary Photography, Ernestine Ruben: A Book of
Photographs, and Ernestine Ruben: Forms and Feelings, you may
have also seen her work in magazines Art News, New York Times, European
Photography, and Beauxs Arts. Ernestine has taught workshops
and master classes in the US and abroad in Austria, Greece, Czech
Republic, Germany, and Israel. Her website is www.ernestineruben.com

collodion process and alleviate any fears many may have in approaching
this intricate and elegant photographic medium. This class is for anyone
with an understanding of darkroom techniques, a desire to create unique

inherent in handmade works. All will discover there is an excitement that
