Take Quality Pictures with Your Smartphone Class
Workshop with Peter Glass
Saturday, May 2, 2026, 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

We all take pictures with our phones…but are they the best that they can be?
Learn to create the kind of photos you've always dreamed about from a professional photographer. No experience is necessary. This class is for those interested in producing high-quality images with their smartphone cameras. That means learning and understanding the camera controls, as well as when and how to use them. Doing so will put the photographer in better control of their camera. And that will mean significantly improved photographs.

Offering: $75 (includes lunch and supplies – other than your phone)
