Sheri Reno
Digital Photography
Class
Above &
Beyond
4 week class - $150.00 Classes to be
held Tuesdays 6:30-9:00 pm Beginning February 23rd This
class will be for the person who would like to learn to use the aperture and
shutter speeds most effectively and creatively. You will learn to compose your
image and touch on some lighting techniques. This is a class targeted to the
photographer with an SLR and/or a camera that can be used in "manual" mode.
Keep in mind that if you have a film camera, this class CAN be for you as well.
Sheri feels that to take total control of your camera and arrive at the image
you want, you should understand fully the manual aspect of photography.
You are asked to have a working knowledge of your camera. We
will not spend class time learning to use and find our way around each
individual camera. If you feel a bit uneasy about the different parts and uses
of your camera, please bring the manual.
Sheri Reno is the owner of Fine Art
Photography and has owned and operated a studio for 27 years. Her resume
consists of many facets of photography including the commercial world (Coleco
Toys, Federal Express, Service Merchandise catalogs, Builder Architect Magazine)
just to name a few. She is an award-winning Portrait, Commercial and Wedding
photographer. She taught portrait studio lighting and posing classes through
Memphis State for three semesters (evening classes) and is now located in
Kingston Springs and has called this area "home" for ten years. www.sherireno.com |

Call for Craft Artisans!
Adornments,
a small retail gallery in the Factory at Franklin,
is looking into starting a new venture.
We would like to expand into a larger space in the Factory and provide
studio/retail space for several craft artisans.
The space is 3,000 + square feet lofted over the common area in the main
building at the Factory. It can be seen
from the ground floor from several popular restaurants/cafes and is directly
across from the South Gate Gallery. Our
proposal is that we would provide several small booth-sized studios ranging in
size from 5x5 to 10x10 and up charging rent based on the size of the space
required (rate per square foot not yet set).
In return, we would provide the following:
1) 24 hour
studio access
2) Communal
display space overseen by Adornments staff
3) Free
wireless internet access
4) Free
utilities
5) Free
advertisement in various publications such as the Tennessean and VIP
Magazine
6) Free
advertisement on the Adornments website (http://Adornments-Online.net)
7) Free use
of our sales team and equipment including:
-A
sales associate on location during business hours to process sales
-Use
of a credit card machine to enable artisans to accept all major credit
cards
including Master Card, Visa, American Express, and
Discover
-Packaging
supplies
All of this
will enable artists to have their work sold whether they are present or
not at the
time of sale without any commission
taken by Adornments.
Adornments
has yet to lease the space in question; in order for this to happen, we need to
find artists who are willing to commit to taking studio/retail space with
us. We prefer that any artist who takes
studio space with us be able to commit to working in their studio during the
day a few days a week so that the public will be able to see craft artisans at
work on their art. It is also possible
for groups to rent the same space to share the cost of rent and switch off on
days in the studio space at no additional cost.
If you are interested
in learning more about this venture, please contact:
