Toward a Personal Photography Vision Tuesday, October 6, 13, 20, 27 and Nov. 3, 7:00-9:00 pm CPM Members $65 / Non-Members $85 We all bring a unique element to our photography---our personal history, personality, thoughts, beliefs and lifestyle. When you begin to fully explore your individual vision of the world, you begin to create one of a kind, memorable images. This class will encourage you to expand the way you think about photography, your work and its creative possibilities. Through class exercises, viewing work by historically significant and contemporary photographers, supportive critiques, assignments and discussion, this class will begin to direct your photography toward becoming more personal and uniquely powerful. This class is ideally suited to the photographer who has been making pictures for awhile, has mastered the mechanics of the camera, but is beginning to question how to set their work apart from the myriads of images being made. Instructor: Patricia Delker. Patricia's background includes degrees in Communication and Art, plus graduate work in Art History at St. Cloud State University-Minnesota and at Lamar University in Beaumont, TX where she studied with Keith Carter. She has taught photography classes for The Center for Photography at Madison, UW School of the Arts at Rhinelander, and the Peninsula Art School in Door Co. Her traditional silver gelatin prints, cyanotypes and plastic camera images have been exhibited in one person and group exhibits in Wisconsin, and in juried group exhibits throughout the country, and her work published in B&W Magazine, Shots, and Light Leaks Magazine.

Mounting, Matting and Framing your Artwork Saturday, October 10, 17, 24, 31 from 10 A.M. to Noon at CPM, with the concluding session Thursday, Nov. 18 from 7 P.M. to 9 P.M. at CPM. CPM Members $50 / Non-Members $75 (plus materials). Enrollment limited to 12 Learn how to select, size, and cut mats; mount and protect artwork, and review inexpensive framing options. For those who want to mat and frame their own work, or just want to be better prepared when taking your work to a frame shop. During the first three sessions, using one or two (depending on class size) of your photos or other 2-dimensional art work up to 11x14” (or any proportion that size or smaller), you will learn how to design, measure, prep mat board. You will cut a (single-window) pair of mats; choose a mounting surface and mount the artwork and the mats, and explore options to protect the matted image. At the fourth session, we will explore simple framing options to finish your piece for presentation. The final session will take place as November’s Third Thursday program for the evening of Nov. 18. One or more experts from area frame shops will discuss matting, framing, and preservation options from simple prints and photos to more complex items like tapestries or especially old, fragile, or valuable items. Materials: Less than $25 per piece of artwork. Instructor: Bill Pielsticker is a professional fine art and nature photographer with over 10 years’ experience mounting, matting and framing his own work for gallery displays and display and sale at art fairs large and small.
