A very special PHOTOGRAPHY WEEKEND

at GATHERING OF STITCHES in PORTLAND MAINE  June 28-29th

This is going to be fun, and a little different. I'll be joining sewist, maker and owner Samantha Hoyt Lindgren at her fabulous maker space for textile and fiber artists  in the East Bayside neighborhood. It's  a full weekend of photography classes, perfect for anyone who loves photography, making, knitting, designing, or all of the above.You can take one, two, or all three of the workshops we put together.

Saturday will be a full day Photography for Knitters & Makers workshop. We'll talk, shoot, edit & end the day with time to review & critique images. An excellent one if you want to get out and shoot for the day, and take your photos to a new level. It's also a great class for designers/crafters who want to create specific images to market their work.

On Sunday I'm debuting two workshops: Photo Editing                                             and Mastering iPhone-ography . Details here.  All classes are limited

 Portland Maine is worth a weekend getaway. Samantha's offering a nice discount if you want to make it a weekend of classes, and she can reconmmend places to eat, stay and visit, too.

FIBER COLLEGE OF MAINE  SEPT 3-7TH 2014

registration open now and filling fast! Gees Bend Quilters will be there.

I'm returning to one of my favorite haunts, Searsport Maine. I hate how the word unique is overused and misused in the creative world--but truly, Fiber College is a unique gathering. It'll be my 4th year, and it makes the bittersweet end to summer tilt toward sweet, each time.

-   all day Friday Savvy Storytelling writing +photography workshop with Beverly Army Williams, for anyone who wants to enliven their blog or website in and empowering way

- Saturday, a Photo Scavenger Hunt workshop. This is going to be so.much.fun. You'll learn tips and techniques to improve your photogrpahy while being challenged to seek images--this year the Gees Bend Quilters will be teaching, along with an amazing array of others and vendors, so we will have so much to shoot in this lovely and unique waterfront setting.

Don't wait too long, I have a feeling this year is going to sell out.

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

And, if you prefer to learn at your own pace, or maybe a workshop isn't in your immediate future:

 my webinar from Interweave : Photography for Knitters

It's a download that you can watch as many times as you wish, recorded from alive broadcast. Have you tried any webinars? They're a great idea with a terrible Elmer-Fuddish name.  The images and talk are very much what you might see and hear from me in  the first hour of a workshop, but of course, the hands-on part is all on your own, any way you want to do it.

 ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

SEPTEMBER 27th   THE KNITTING LOFT WASHINGTON DC

(origianlly scheduled in April, we postponed--so do join us!)

Autumn 2013 thru Early 2014 workshops & classes

 “…. I have to say that 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, Juniper Moon Farm

" A workshop with Gale is perfect for any knitter who wants to improve the
quality 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

"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
