BUILDING THE PORTFOLIO

Time: 10:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.
Location: My studio in the Mississippi neighborhood of Portland

Cost: $300
This intensive course is designed to help you either complete a new body of work or an existing series that you may have trouble finishing, with the goal being to have a completed portfolio of between 15-20 prints. We will spend the first half of each class discussing such topics as developing a concept, image quality, print quality, print size, printing materials, editing, sequencing, general craft, bookmaking, marketing, and writing your project statement; the second half will be devoted to evaluating your progress on the development of the work.
This is not a ‘technical skills’ workshop, although we’ll discuss technical skills as it pertains to making the work stronger. The emphasis is on creating the work itself, and shaping its form so that you will be able to present the portfolio to your chosen audience whether that be a gallery director, collector or the media. You’ll develop both the tangible product—a portfolio—and the ability to explain its importance. We’ll sharpen your ability to critique your own work, as well as others’, and work through the project from conceptualization to final printing.
Admission is by review. A pdf of current or past work will be required for acceptance. To apply, please e-mail me a low resolution pdf with 20 images of recent work, I will be in touch shortly.
