darkrooms for 30 years. In this four-week class, he’ll show you just what it takes to turn a<br />
space in your home into a darkroom. From plumbing and making your own sink to creating a<br />
ventilation system and keeping the light out, you’ll come out of class with a blueprint for your<br />

with basic design, layout, and digital<br />
printing/publishing options, you’ll see<br />

Deconstructing Criticism Five Tuesdays, 1/8 - 2/5 6:30-9:30pm $195<br />
What’s that you say? Not quite sure where you’re going as an artist? Need a little direction,<br />
guidance, advice, and inspiration? In this five-part class, multimedia artist and curatorial<br />
superstar TJ Norris will guide you through the process of engaged critique. It’s simple to say,<br />
“I love that” or, “I hate that,” and much more difficult to really express why. This class is a<br />
great chance to go beyond semantics and lip-service and to give your thoughts some teeth.<br />
As art can often be subjective, direction will be both creative and analytical with a focus on<br />
discussing each student’s own creative work in progress. Through peer review, supportive<br />
feedback, individually focused assignments, and a fun gallery field trip, you’ll develop the tools<br />
necessary to better understand and articulate your work – and the work of others. This is a<br />
wonderful chance to gain invaluable insight into what you’re doing as an artist and to study<br />
with a true leading light in the regional arts scene. Instructor: TJ Norris<br />
From The Ground Up<br />
Three Saturdays, 1/12 11-3pm;<br />
1/19 11-5pm; 1/26 11-5pm $185<br />
Great photographs are not always<br />
caught “on the fly.” They are often<br />
developed from the ground up with<br />
careful attention to visualization,<br />
storyboarding, location scouting,<br />
props, and lighting. In this threepart<br />
class, celebrated photographer<br />
Ann Ploeger will show you how she<br />
“stages” conceptual photographs<br />
from idea to finished image. You’ll<br />
learn to be your own Creative<br />
Director as you manage subjects<br />
and environments to truly reflect<br />
your photographic vision. Through<br />
brainstorming, prop hunting,<br />
and plenty of experimentation,<br />
you’ll have the opportunity to<br />
transform the way you think about<br />
photography and the way you work.<br />
Instructor: Ann Ploeger<br />

photographs as you leave expectations behind and begin to explore new territory with your<br />

resource and guide as you create new work. Cherie Hiser has been a photographic educator for<br />
over 30 years. She studied under Minor White, Ruth Bernhard, and Imogen Cunningham, and<br />
has been described as, “one of the most vital persons of our time” by Cornell Capa, Director of<br />

Developing Your Photographic Voice<br />
Four Thursdays, 1/10-1/31 6:30-9:30pm $195<br />
It has been said that it’s possible to be a great photographer but a terrible editor –<br />
underscoring the importance of choosing wisely from your contact sheets. Developing an eye<br />
for editing your work to present a compelling, cohesive photographic voice, however, can be<br />
a challenge. This four-week class is a great opportunity to explore these issues with talented<br />
local artist and curator Kirsten Rian. In-depth group critiques will help you to identify<br />
themes and contexts you may have missed in your own work. Assignments based on your own<br />
photographic style or project will help you fill gaps in your portfolio to create a more defined<br />
body of work. Instructor: Kirsten Rian<br />

On Assignment: Central Oregon Ghost Towns Weekend of 2/1-2/3 $275<br />
Newspace is hosting a very special two-day photographic expedition of Central Oregon’s<br />
ghost towns with professional photographer Robert (Bob) Davis. Mr. Davis has an intimate<br />
knowledge of Oregon’s historic settlements and special access to some of the more out of the<br />
way sites – which will truly make this trip a once-in-a-lifetime experience. You’ll get to explore<br />
abandoned sites rich with history and mystery – from old homes still housing faint remnants<br />
of former tenants, to creaky jails, windswept outbuildings, to eccentric Victorian homesteads<br />
and even the occasional tumble weed. Throughout the trip, Mr. Davis will work one-on-one<br />
with each photographer, making sure everyone gets beautiful images. This is an incredible<br />
chance to capture fantastic shots of unique locales as you receive instruction from a talented<br />
