The Water Street Gallery organizes art, photography and writing workshops throughout the year. Some of these are held in the gallery and studios on Water Street. Others are held on location. For the photography workshops, the studio has a Color and a Black & White darkroom, with a Beseler enlarger capable of handling 8x10" negatives. Color prints, such as Type-C, are processed using Jobo equipment up to 20x24". The photography workshops offered include "Platinum Printing," "Large Format Portrait Photography," and "Silver Gelatin Printing." The studio also uses MacPro computers and Epson printers for digital photography workshops.

All of these workshops are limited in enrollment.

With the May opening of the Water Street Gallery rental darkroom, we will begin offering a schedule of film and digital photography workshops this summer. Please call or email to be put on our mailing list.

The Museums of Balboa Park

A weekend trip to San Diego to visit the Museum of Photographic Arts, the Timken, The San Diego Museum of Art and the Mingei International Museum.

Southeast Asia

This trip has been cancelled for this summer. We will offer it again in the Summer of 2009. In the meantime, we are planning a 10-day journey from Lake Titicaca in Boliva to Machu Picchu in Peru for December 2008. If interested, please call or email the gallery.

In the Summer of 2008, gallery owner Fred Sigman will lead artists and photographers on an 18-day journey through Thailand and Cambodia. We visit Buddhist temples, museums/galleries throughout both countries, and travel through the Southeast Asian countryside. Using Bangkok as our hub for travel, the group will spend time in Sukhothai in northern Thailand and at Angkor Wat in Cambodia. Fred has traveled extensively throughout these regions.
