FREE Photography Class
Join me on Saturday, March 8th, for a FREE photography class in partnership with Swan Creek Art Academy. In this hands-on session, we’ll explore photography as a form of love and care, using the camera to connect with ourselves and our community. If you've attended my one-hour workshop, Portraiture as an Act of Love, this is a wonderful opportunity to continue that creative journey.
These free art classes in Tacoma are supported by Tacoma Creates, ensuring they remain accessible to the community. Whether you're a beginner or looking to deepen your photography practice, I invite you to join us.
Date: March 8, 2025
Time: 12:00 - 2:00 pm
