Education

Join us, in-person, at the Griffin Museum, for some artist book fun in celebration of Book Month in May!

This half day Accordion Pocket Bookmaking class is perfect for photographers, print makers, and collage artists. The Accordion Pocket Book is designed to add to a collection of 2D art, and make it into framed pocket pages, which can be displayed as a 3-dimensional artist book. Together we will create and discuss different ways to organize photo-based content into an accordion framework. This structure is also great to use as a marketing tool.

There are countless possibilities to choose from when bringing your photography to the book form. In this 2-hour presentation, Susan Kae Grant and Mary Virginia Swanson share and discuss highlights from their personal libraries including published, self-published, handmade artists' books, and collaborative productions. Their selections are intended to inform and inspire participants to expand their awareness of photobooks today.

We invite creators to come and explore with Polaroid Now+ and the new Polaroid Lab to see how your experiments can unlock new realms of color, vision and creativity in your work.

No two people are the same, like no two Polaroid shots are the same. In life, just like in our photography, it's our imperfections that make us unique.

Inspired by The Polaroid Project: At the Intersection of Art and Technology, which began with a retrospective exhibit at MIT, and is currently touring the world, we want you to be motivated by the moment.

Hand coloring a black and white photograph is an art form all by itself. This hands-on, two-day, 9am -1pm course, held in person at the beautiful Griffin Museum of Photography, introduces you to the history, aesthetics and technical aspects of hand coloring as well as the many techniques for shooting and finishing images printed in the digital era. The all-important last step of preserving and framing the final artwork make this a comprehensive workshop. The instructor will show examples and do demonstrations throughout the weekend.

This in- person workshop is designed to elevate your sense of personal aesthetics, help you to discover, or renew your creative spirit, and to broaden the way you think about your individual photographic practice. There will be daily image making, critiques, and discussions around the creative aspects of photography.
