Light Painting as a Photo Art Form
I think everyone that showed to the class can we agree that we loved it. Is such a unique photography class. The instructions were easy to follow. The class was structured as follows: 1.) Instructor had a PowerPoint where you explained the technique, the props that can be used and how to build them. 2.) We took light painting pictures together with her in a big set. 3.) We followed that with pictures in a table top set. 4.) Lastly we were split in groups were we let our imagination run wild. -
Fieldwork: Photo Basics at American Art Museum
I enjoyed this class a lot. I learned some new techniques and got feedback on my photos. It was also great to practice taking photos with others. I recommend this class -
Photo Basics: Getting Off Auto
My son and I attended this course. The instructor had a good presentation with lots of examples and best of all, he would stop by every single person each time he taught a camera function on technique. So many times if the instructor stays at the front of the classroom, it’s hard to know if you actually understand what’s being taught. Excellent course for beginners. -
Couples Ring Making Workshop
The class was great overall; really informative and interactive. I particularly liked how detailed the explanations were of each step, and the crossword was a nice touch to add historical and cultural context. Overall, I learned a lot and I left with a ring that I cherish and wear almost daily. I recommend this class to everyone I come across! -
Photo Basics: Getting Off Auto
This was a very good intro class. Well explained and easy to understand. We got done about 40 minutes only suggestion I can think of is maybe put us through some more exercises if the class gets done early. -

iPhone Photography: Getting Started at the National Gallery of Art
I thought the class was wonderful. It was informative, interesting and exactly what I had hoped for. The instructor was great and obviously organized and competent. He used great examples and had a good sense of humor. He took the time to learn and remember names and he kept to a structure and time limits that were impressive. We started and ended on time! I learned so much in a way I understood. It truly was an excellent class. The only thing that I did not like about the class was the student he/you allowed to attend who was an Android user and was new to her phone. She monopolized his time, monopolized the space so it was often hard to take a shot you might want to take, and took time and attention away from the other students. I am curious about why she was allowed to take an I Phone class when she had an Android. I honestly think the instructor should have set some boundaries with her instead of giving her private instruction. This is the only criticism I have and it can be easily addressed by adhering to the class description that this is for IPhone users. Thank you. -

Half Day Private Digital Photography for 1-6 People (DC)
Bob was a terrific help giving me a wide-angle look at photography as well as in the weeds helpful hints about the kinds of photos I'll be taking. As a result of this class, I have a renewed confidence in my ability to not just improve my photographs but to keep learning as I go. It was a fun three hours and I'm raring to take improved shots! -
Couples Ring Making Workshop
Great class, fun, and informative. Overall amazing experience worth the price 3 fold -
Couples Ring Making Workshop
The Couples Ring Making Workshop was a great experience. We have a lot of fun making our matching rings, very romantic. We learn a lot about how rings are made, and also a little history of Alexandria and the shop. The class is at a beginner level, so you don't have to have experience in making jewelry before. Some wine was served during class. You can also buy some of their unique jewelry, and take other classes if you are interested in making jewelry (not just rings). There are also many unique shops for you to look around in the area. A coffee place nearby was great and very cozy. -

Metal 1
We had a really small class just 4 of us. Dan gives great instruction - he demos each part of the process and then will provide additional assistance through each step of making your pieces. The studio is well equipped and they take COVID seriously with dividers between workstations and requiring masks and gloves (both provided) to all who enter. I’m already signed up for Metals 2! -

Plant Nite: Hanging Glass Globe w/ Large Black Rocks
Plant Nite was well organized and the host, Alexa, was wonderful and really helpful. She introduced everyone and set a great tone for the Rest of the night. It was a really good group of people, and we actually ended up making friends with some of the other people who came separately. It was a relaxing evening and I would definitely recommend it.
