Summer Photography Workshops

We have 3 exciting summer classes coming up at the BCA Photography Program, all utilizing our new Digital Media Lab (see post from March for more info about the new facility). The darkroom will be taking a hiatus for adult classes over the summer months, as we will be offering 8 fun summer camps for kids between the ages of 9-14, which you can check out here. We are also in the planning stages for a fantastic Fall session, with a wide variety of classes in the darkroom and the digital media lab.

...but back to the summer!
See info below - feel free to contact me with questions.
