Exploring Your SLR Camera
This five-week course is designed as an introductory to intermediate level course in photography, with a focus on camera utilization and functionality. Participants should own (and bring to class!) an SLR camera — either film or digital — and have a strong interest in learning more about the various functions of their camera with regard to exposure, digital capabilities, composition and various artistic effects.
This course will help you become thoroughly familiar with basic camera operations, and how to use your camera’s settings and features as elements of effective photographic composition. Classes include lectures, class discussions, question/answer sessions, and guided homework assignments. Weekly photo critiques of student work will help everyone improve all aspects of their photographic endeavors.
If you’ve always wanted to improve your camera knowledge and photographic techniques, this is the course for you!

Precious Metal Clay
Ages 15+
Come learn how to make beautiful fine silver jewelry using a truly amazing material called Precious Metal Clay (PMC). PMC’s clay body is made up of microscopic particles of metal held together by an organic binder and water. When fired at specific temperatures, the binder and water burn off allowing the silver particles to fuse into SOLID metal. PMC can be easily sculpted or molded and impressed with textures and stamps. Firing and polishing of student’s pieces will be done during class. Students will leave this one day workshop with several of their own one-of-a-kind silver creations. Class may be repeated for additional learning.
Sat July 21 10-6pm $125/members $115

Cooper McKim, 17 year old pianist, and Jordan McBride, 18 year bass player, met in the eighth grade at Solebury School. Cooper had been playing Classical music for 11 years at that point, and Jordan had been started bass just three years prior. Jordan already was proficient in Jazz, and so he immersed Cooper into that new world. They started playing together frequently, formally and informally, around the New Hope area. Jordan will be heading to Oberlin Conservatory next year and Cooper will be at Tufts University. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-UuLbqhAqfA
