  • Open Weaving Studio

    The Adirondack Folk School would like to expand the use and joy of our weaving studio with a week long Open Studio experience. This is an advanced class and our Introduction to Weaving course is a pre-requisite. The Open Studio is designed for the novice weaver who would like to plan and weave a project of their choice. This will require a conversation (phone, email or text) with Janet prior to the class to calculate your yarn requirements or for the school to provide materials at an additional material cost. On Day 1 you will wind and warp your loom and as a group share your project ideas and dress your loom for weaving. Janet will be there to support you as needed in the process of warping and threading. Days 2-5 will be for open weaving in the company of your fellow weavers.

  • Perfect Pictures Every Time

    Adirondack Folk School 51 Main St., Lake Luzerne, NY, United States

    Understanding photography basics is the key to taking control of your camera and knowing you got the shot when you were taking it. If you would like to take your skill level from shooting in Auto to having full control over your camera, this intensive class is for you! A step-by-step PowerPoint presentation helps teach the basic principles of photography including: camera options and set-up, peripheral equipment, image exposure and histograms, and will touch on shooting for HDR and working with motion, depth of field, and composition. The class is paced to allow time for questions and interaction, with about half of the day in the classroom experimenting with the cameras, and the other half spent in the field, practicing camera techniques and shooting options. A comprehensive handout will include all the major points covered in the presentation. While the class instruction is mostly landscape based, these techniques and principles can be applied to all photographic situations.
