DUBLIN STUDIO WORKSHOPS
© Rebecca Welsh, Dublin Studio, New Hampshire
If you are seeking a personal and customized alternative process workshop experience, one where you decide on the number of days you would like, the process or processes that you wish to work and play with and the specific scope of what you would personally like to learn working with me, (without the crowding and occasional chaos that comes with a large workshop experience), please consider experiencing a private 1 to 2-person workshop with me in our Dublin, New Hampshire studio.
I am also offering dedicated portfolio reviews, book and exhibition editing and layout, and course - program development as unique workshops or in combination with process and craft. These may be both in-person and / or remote.
Dublin is in the southwest corner of the state, and an easy drive from anywhere in New York or New England. If flying, Manchester International Airport is 45 minutes away and Boston is an hour and 40 minutes by car. The perfect place to energize yourself and your art, Dublin has been an artist's retreat and destination for creative travelers for well over 150 years. Located near The MacDowell Art Colony, Dublin features a perfect New England environment, great hiking on Mt. Monadnock and numerous railroad trails, a deep-water swimming lake, and outstanding diversity in dining and local B & B, hotel and motel lodging, and sitting at 1400 feet above sea level, comfortable, without A/C during the summer months.

Workshop Reviews
“The best teachers ignite curiosity in their students, Christopher James’ encyclopedic knowledge and infectious love for all things photographic will absolutely ignite both curiosity and passion in any student lucky enough to work with him. Working side by side with Christopher James in his studio is a gigantic honor - his generosity of time, knowledge and spirit is abundant. Christopher and Rebecca’s studio is an oasis of art and beauty. Every inch of the studio inspires. I left his home more knowledgeable, yes, but more importantly, with a new-found passion and craving to continue making art. By putting possibilities before me in a safe and inspiring way, Christopher created a learning environment that prompted me to take artistic chances and explore my artistic voice. Christopher James inspires.”
