(Four Teaching Days)
Artist Jambalya–Photocollage & Mixed Media
New to Dillman’s
www.laurieklein.com
 Mix it all up with this exciting hands-on mixed media class that everyone will love. We will focus on different techniques including: hand coloring black white photographs, citra-art using National Geographic Magazines to create your own hand-made paper, acrylic lifts, photo transfers, and more. Will spend the week developing collage journals and you will be making pieces of art work that express your creative voice.
Laurie is known today as both a successful photographer with a signature style, and an instructor of healing workshops that celebrate women by helping them re-discover their core purpose, strengths, passions and joys. Her life long commitment to the art of photography began 41 years ago in high school. "I didn't really discover my passion, my passion discovered me." Laurie said.
Turning from just taking pretty pictures, Laurie sought to perfect her craft by attending the photography program at R.I.T. and then getting her M.F.A. from Ohio University. Later, Ansel Adams became one of her heroes and mentors. He taught her that discovering her own artistic voice was the gateway to becoming a fine artist.
"Her style is unique, combining a wonderful ability for composition and a sensitivity to her subjects that will carry her to the top of her field. I can't teach the way she sees and feels!" - Ansel Adams
Today, she is recognized mostly for her signature infrared photography. Her work is held in private collections and museums. She is sought after for her exclusive commissions and extraordinary creativity workshops. Laurie's unique way of using infrared photography, and the caring, personal way she captured her subject's innermost emotions almost always became a transformational experience for both photographer and client. Today, she calls that "The Laurie Klein Experience." As time went on, she added to her shoots, the wisdom, ritual and spirituality that only 30 years experience can gather. Sitting on the deck of her lakeside studio, she watches the clouds and their reflection in the water below. She is preparing for another Bodies in Water workshop. Nine women, all very accomplished in their own careers, will be coming for The Laurie Klein Experience. Laurie will begin with a ritualistic time of self-discovery and sharing. Each will have brought a camera, so that they may photograph one another and be photographed by Laurie.
Laurie conducts a variety of workshops with different themes: Celebrate the Feminine, The Artist Seeing, Jambalaya, Sparkling Water - Creating Visual Journals, The Goddess Athena Playdates, Lets Play Dress Up. For many years Laurie has been mentoring young people in order to give them the encouragement to follow their creative dreams. Laurie also authored Hand Coloring Black & White Photography, published by Rockport 1999.
Studio: Something for all levels.
