Macro Photography Workshop – Sat 2/3/18

Blackstone Valley Art Association Leave a comment

Macro photography is all about appreciating the small things in life. The details. It draws one in to being mindful about the tiny items which might otherwise go unnoticed. The eyes of a bumblebee. The details of a flower petal. The curve of a watch gear.

If you’ve got a cellphone or a camera, bring it along to play. If you don’t, that’s fine! You can watch, learn, and enjoy the experience. All are welcome, and it’s free!

When:
Saturday, Feb 3, 2018
1pm – 3pm

Where:
BVAA Alternatives Uxbridge Community Gallery
5 South Main Street
Uxbridge, MA

There is a TON of free parking immediately next to this building. It is fully and easily handicapped accessible.
