- I’ve been making experimental cameras and teaching related workshops and courses for almost three decades. During the past couple of years I have conducted camera building workshops at Penland School of Crafts, Indiana University, the Regional SPE at WMU, Bowling Green State University, Kalamazoo Institute of Arts, and Western Michigan University. For 2015, Laura Beth Konopinski and I will be offering a two-week experimental camera workshop at Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts, June 28 – July 11.
