Roseville Community Education Program

Are you feeling like you have had enough of Winter? Can’t wait to get out of the house? Join Professional Photographer, Jay Grammond as he leads us on a photographic journey of possibilities that will get you out of the house and into your own yard, or local park this Spring and Summer. You will learn to see and compose creatively; how to create or look for great backgrounds; what subjects to focus on; and helpful Apps and Resources that could help you create your best images yet!

Are you a Photographer that wants to take your images to the next level; or maybe someone that is just getting going in photography? Do you want to be a photographer that TAKES Pictures; or one that CREATES Images? You’ll leave this class with ideas and concepts that you can put into practice right away. We will cover some compositional basics that will surely improve your images if you are not using them; and we will discuss concepts of building your Photographic Vision to take your images from good to great!

During your Flower Glass Discovery, you will work one-on-one with a professional glass instructor to make a pulled glass Flower. Our instructors will explain the safety, equipment, and tools that glassblowers use everyday to create their art. Participants will have the glassblowing process demonstrated and explained to them, and then one at a time will be coached through the steps of creating a beautiful, colorful glass flower of their own. This hands-on process will include collecting color onto the surface of molten glass and shaping it with a variety of specialty tools while sitting at the glassblowers bench. Due to hot glass needing to be cooled at a slow rate over, completed pieces will be ready for pickup the week following your class.
