For women ages 60 yrs +. Through brief readings and poems relevant to women’s experience and quiet moments, each participant will reflect on and create works using collage materials that speak to a decade (or period of time) of her life. Each of the four (4) weeks will provide the opportunity to visually record a decade or period of time. The 2 hour format will provide each woman with sufficient time to quietly reflect on her life and its memorable, meaningful moments, happy and sad, celebratory and mournful. We will be creating an autobiographical series for ourselves alone. Because of the personal nature of autobiographical work, confidentiality will be honored. Collage materials will be provide and participants are encouraged to bring meaningful notes, photos, letters etc. There is absolutely no requirement to have any prior art experience, we’re making memories.

In this two-part seminar, we will offer a crash course on the basics of film development (part one) and print making (part two). This is a beginner level class where you will learn how to develop your own 35mm or 120mm film, in addition to making your own prints and contact sheets. The seminar is designed to equip you to use our darkroom facilities on your own. Please bring one full (undeveloped) roll of 35mm or 120mm black and white film to the seminar. Due to the end goal of giving you the tools to use the darkroom on your own, both parts of the seminar are required to attend. Please do not sign up if you can only come to one session of the seminar. NOTE: For anyone 18 yrs+. Contact photography@chaw.org if you have any specific questions regarding the seminar.
