5-Day Expressive Painting

Santa Fe is helping everyone help find their inner artist this spring by experiencing, first hand, what makes Santa Fe, New Mexico a nationally recognized center of creativity. Abundant visual arts fill the city with galleries, outdoor art and museums while Santa Fe’s adobe architecture, unique multi-cultural traditions and stunning scenery can’t help but inspire. DIY: A Creative Tourism Journey gives visitors the chance to spend all or part of a vacation taking workshops from experienced artists and artisans during the month of March. The workshops are offered at great prices with partner hotels providing discounted rates to participants.

Stoneware Ceramics

It’s time to fulfill a dream, refine a skill, or do something completely different. No previous training is involved making this March the ideal time to set that untapped artistic talent free. There are plenty of experiences to choose from. For example, Sharon Candelario will teach a day of traditional tinwork at her family’s café, shop, and gallery in the charming village of Chimayo. Or, the truly adventurous can opt for a day in the heat, making glass beads at Donna Nova Designs. Photographer Craig Varjabedian will take shutterbugs on a four -day photographic exploration of the northern New Mexico people, landscape, and architecture he has been photographing for thirty years. Artist Julie Claire believes that painting on a bold, large scale connects students to their innermost joy and freedom, even if they haven’t held a paintbrush since second grade.

Individual Intuitive Painting Sessions

There’s much more—Japanese paper making, intricate egg decorating in Southwestern motifs, spinning wool, bead making, silk painting, abstract painting, and print making are among the possibilities.  DIY Santa Fe is perfect for groups of friends, multi-generational families and couples. The workshops are fun and the planning is completely flexible. Visitors book the hotel, inn or bed and breakfast of their choice for as long as they want, and book one or more workshops directly with the artists.

DIY: A Creative Tourism Journey is a project of Santa Fe Creative Tourism, which offers over 250 creative experiences throughout the year. In 2005, Santa Fe was named to the Creative Cities Network by UNESCO. It was the first American city to be honored. Santa Fe and its sister cities around the world strive to give visitors an experience from the heart of their artistic and cultural communities.

Traditional Tin Smithing

Tony Bonanno

Basics of Digital Printmaking / February 25 – March 1, 2013

Learn the fundamental techniques needed to create consistent color and black-and-white prints of your images with an internationally renowned master printer and photographer as your guide. Using a combination of knowledge drawn from his years of fieldwork and hands-on experience in a digital lab environment, Tony takes participants through the process of making photographic prints from start to finish.

Early in the week, Tony takes the class on location to nearby Northern New Mexico locations, where we photograph the majestic scenic beauty of the high desert. With new images at the ready, we turn to The Workshops state-of-the-art digital lab to process and print our images using Epson printers, inks, and paper.

During digital lab sessions, Tony guides your image-processing and printing workflow, employing Adobe Lightroom and Adobe Photoshop in conjunction with the latest-generation archival pigment printers. In-depth discussions cover topics such as choosing hardware and software, color management, display calibration, media profiles, archival paper types and ink compatibility, storage and handling of fine-art prints, printer maintenance, and troubleshooting of common printing problems. You print your own images on selected paper types to assess the output quality and characteristics of different media.

Join Tony as he shares his expert knowledge and assists you in complementing your photographic vision with the know-how and confidence to produce beautiful photographic prints.
