Since 1996, Gladding, McBean has played host to one of the country’s most popular photographic workshops

Designed for the non-beginner photographer, the Gladding McBean Photography Workshop provides, more than anything else, access to one of the most visually interesting and historically rich buildings in the entire West. From its massive beehive kilns, in which huge sewer pipes are fired, to the small clay figures in the old modeling studio, the pottery provides a never-ending supply of compelling subjects and extraordinary light. Since before the turn of the 20th century, when photography was used as an integral partner in the process of manufacturing architectural terra cotta, informative and magical images have flowed from these buildings.

Traditional film and digital formats are both welcome. How can you become a part of this remarkable tradition of camerawork in the Gladding, McBean pottery? By joining us in this workshop!

Workshop Price: $145 for one day; $265 for two days.

Lunches are included in the price of the workshop. Proceeds from the Gladding McBean Photography Workshops help to support the programs of Viewpoint Photographic Art Center, which sponsors the workshops.
