I love teaching online courses, but after having my first in-person teaching experience at Create Magic Workshop this past fall, I was hooked. As an online teacher, I have a bit of an obsession with connecting with students and giving them feedback on each and every image they so bravely share. I adored getting to give people feedback in person, getting to cheer on their images moments after they took them, getting to give them in the moment cheerleading and answer their technical questions.
So when the Whistler Arts Council asked me to teach an in-person 2 Day version of You are Your Own Muse it really felt like a dream manifesting in reality.
On August 18th & 19th we are going to gather in the gorgeous town of Whistler, British Columbia and spend the weekend telling our stories through photos and discovering self-portraiture in a supportive, connected environment.
This photography workshop invites students to explore their artistic voice through photography and to explore the world of self-portraiture and personal storytelling. Participants will be invited to develop their photography skills through supportive, playful and outside of the box activities. This workshop invites you into a way of approaching photography and self-portraiture that is freeing, empowering and by the end of the workshop you will discover the photographer in you.
I’m so thrilled that the workshop is pretty affordable at $169 for the 2 days of classes. They’ll also be sharing info on the Whistler website about some special hotel rates they’ve set up for participants.
To add to the goodness, the Whistler Arts Council who are the hosts of this workshop, are doing something special. For all those who register for one of their Workshops on the Lake during the month of March, each person will be entered into a draw to win a $200 gift certificate…which in the case of this workshop would mean that if you win your tuition would be free! So I definitely recommend signing up early.
Registration just opened so you can click here to secure your spot in the workshop.
There are only 10 spots available total so if you’d like to join me, I recommend signing up soon (plus, the chance of winning the gift certificate by registering early is pretty dreamy).
