Light & Ink: Photography and Writing

September 16 — November 4, 6-8 PM EDT

In this eight-week workshop, participants will explore the generative possibilities between photography and writing in creative practice. How can language illuminate or disturb the seeming fact of a photograph? Can a photograph animate a text to create new meanings? Through readings and image presentations, we will study historical and contemporary works with an emphasis on books. These discussions will feed assignments, both in-class and out, where we will explore the material weave of image and text and its expressive potential to evoke, describe, and narrate.

This workshop is ideal for artists, photographers, and writers interested in image/text forms and is open to any level of experience.

Class meetings are Tuesdays from 6-8 PM EDT via Zoom for eight weeks.

Necessary equipment and programs (not provided): computer, hard drive, camera, and Adobe Creative Cloud Suite. Access to a flat bed scanner will be useful if you plan to source photographs. You are welcome to work in any format or medium but you must bring the work into digital format to share during our meetings.

Workshop tuition is $450. Enrollment is limited to 10 participants. Please email lauralarsonstudio@gmail.com to reserve your spot. payment will be due when the workshop fills.
