Join artist and educator Anne Eder for a captivating two-day summer workshop at the Griffin Museum, where art and nature converge. You'll learn to create beautiful, one-of-a-kind photographic images using 19th-century and contemporary cameraless techniques: anthotypes, lumen prints, and phytograms.

In this workshop, we will go beyond the basics of the Adobe Lightroom Classic workflow. We will begin with a brief review of the Library and Develop Modules, along with key settings that impact performance and organization. From there, we will dive into problem-solving common challenges such as replacing or adding hard drives, moving files without losing links, and maximizing the use of Collections. We will also explore new tools for sorting and organizing, creating export presets, and more within the Library Module.

The Develop Module section will cover Lightroom Classic's newest features
