Testimony from workshop participants:
"... if you have a chance to take Gale’s workshop- either here at the farm
or anywhere else- DO IT! I had no idea I would learn so much and I know
my classmates felt the same way. Gale is so talented and such a great
teacher. I promise, you’ll walk away inspired!" - Susan Gibbs, of Juniper Moon Farm
"
A workshop with Gale is perfect for any knitter who wants to improve thequality of her
photographs. A knitter herself, Gale "gets it" when it comes to displaying
and
photographing hand knits. Gale's enthusiasm for photography
and
knitting is infectious and the result is a workshop full of instruction,
tips
and techniques. Mostly, though, it's just fun!" - Carole of Carole
Knits blog
"Gale
shared
her professional expertise and some very concrete tips on how to make
our
photos pop. It was fun to hear the back stories on some of her wonderful
photos
and get ideas for different ways to showcase our knitting. We had a
chance to experiment
for ourselves, and since taking the class, I have used her tips for my
personal
photography. Thanks, Gale!" - Susan Rainey, of The
Rainey
Sisters blog
“Photography
for
knitters was such a fantastic class. I wished the class were a week
instead of
a day! Gale is knowledgeable, patient and has a great sense of fun. I
learned
so much, and would love to take a follow up. Your blog or Ravelry page
will
never be the same!” - Mary Lou Egan, The Yarnery, St Paul MN
