  The Photography Collective

  Mentors: Megan Mumford, Molly Cohen

  
  

  This spring and summer, we invite intermediate level and above photographers to come together to share ideas, inspirations, and give positive constructive feedback to help all of us improve our art, understanding, and vision. Over the course of six evenings, we will work collaboratively to inspire each other technically and creatively. Evenings will center around personal vision, and the creation and sharing of images through thoughtful assignments. We may head out to shoot on location as well! 

  
  

  Participants must:

  1.    Know how to independently operate their DSLR cameras in manual mode

  2.    Have a working knowledge of Lightroom (or other editing program), with the ability to sort through and edit images to support your personal style.

  
  

  

  
  

  Sessions will be led by Megan Mumford and/or Molly Cohen. Megan has been a professional photographer and business owner for 25 years and specializes in editorial and commercial portraiture, interiors, and fine art botanical work. Molly has been an educator for over 15 years, and a student of photography for the past 5 years–she enjoys street photography and taking pictures of the people she loves. 

  Group will meet the following dates from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM:

  June 1, 8, 22, July 27, August 3, 17, 2026

  Intermediate Pastels

  taught by Carolyn Justice

  
  

  This class is designed to help you develop both confidence and creativity while learning to work with pastels. With a focus on originality and discovering your personal style, you’ll explore how to interpret subjects in your own way while learning solid techniques.

  We’ll cover the basics of value, layering, and blending as you work from still life, portraits, landscapes, and photo references. Step by step, you’ll gain the skills to handle more complex subjects while being encouraged to experiment and find your own artistic voice.

  Beginners are welcome! Materials will be provided during class to beginners. Students who have taken a pastel class previously are asked to bring their own pastels.

  6 session class, Wednesdays from September 9-October 14, 2026 at 1 pm-4 pm

  $225 member/$270 non-member materials not included (bring your own)

  Beginner Weaving with Open Studio

  taught by Jan DeMeo

  Jan DeMeo has been weaving for nine years and is excited to introduce absolute beginners* to the art of weaving. In this class, you’ll be guided step-by-step through the entire weaving process: from planning and winding the warp to dressing the loom and exploring various weave structures. Along the way, you’ll receive plenty of guidance and support, and by the end of the class, you’ll have a beautiful scarf or table runner to take home.

  No prior experience is needed—just bring your curiosity and willingness to learn!

  Please bring a good pair of scissors with you to class.

  The weaving studio will be open for extra weaving time daily. Door security access will be given to students prior to the starting of class.
