Spread the word about our group classes. They'll be starting the week of April 20th. Here's the course schedule. If there is a lot of demand for a different time slot we'll try to be flexible.
We are also looking to see if there is any interest in youth classes. Let us know if your kids might want to learn photography, videography or darkroom printing and we'll try to set up a class!
