workshop with Fran Forman, March 10-21

Fran Forman will be teaching a workshop March 10-21 in Watertown, MA with Karin Rosenthal:
TRANSFORMING REALITIES: IN-CAMERA & IN PHOTOSHOP

Fran studied art and sociology at Brandeis University and received an MFA from Boston University's School of Fine Arts. Between working in the fields of illustration and graphic design and raising two daughters, Fran continued to create personal art, combining her illustrative and photographic skills with a passion for surrealism, paradox, illusion, assemblage, the non-human world, and the dislocations of time and place.

From her course description:

"The photographic digital collage technique is perfectly suited to portray the imagined world of idea, memory, and emotion. In this hands-on workshop, students will explore the multi-faceted art of the photographic composite. Our explorations will incorporate visual materials into existing images to create dream-like and surreal montages."

Sonoma saves the day

We hope everyone's staying warm in the DC area! One customer who lost power told us she took her Sonoma Lavender blanket to a neighbor's house (different grid), heated it up and went home to keep cozy.
