Architectural Photo Tour at Graycliff Estate
$65.00 – $80.00A 2-Day Class
Thursday, June 5th and June 12th
6:00 – 9:00pm
Ages 16+A Photography Tour and Workshop for Ages 16+
Join CEPA and Frank Lloyd Wright’s Graycliff Estate for a unique two-day collaborative workshop and photography tour!
Participants will begin with a brief conversation about design and composition while sitting in the living room of Graycliff’s main house, taking cues from Wright’s design principles illustrated at this historic lakeside property.
Participants will then have the freedom to explore both floors of the main house at their own pace, with ample time to photograph its architectural features and interior spaces. As a special highlight, you’ll also have the chance to capture the sublime paradox of historic architecture alongside the ongoing construction of the new Visitor Center—a rare juxtaposition of Wright’s timeless design with contemporary development.
The second session will be a critique and review of participants’ photographs from the tour, taking place in CEPA’s Education Center, followed by the opportunity to take additional architectural photos inside the 1892 Market Arcade building.
Participants will be invited to donate the rights to print one of their photographs to be auctioned at a June 21 fundraising event at Graycliff.
Class size is very limited, book now to reserve your spot.

Friday, June 20th
6:00 – 8:30pm
Ages 13+A Photography Class for Ages 13+
Discover the fascinating intersection of art and science in this hands-on Chemigram Workshop! Participants will explore the unique photographic process of creating chemigrams—stunning, abstract images produced by combining photographic paper, light, and chemical reactions.
Several techniques for camera-less photography will be explored, allowing for a wide range of different effects. Unlike a lot of traditional photography processes, there is no right or wrong way, it’s all about trying out different things and letting the process unfold naturally.
No prior photography or chemistry experience is necessary—this workshop is perfect for beginners and seasoned artists alike. Leave with your own one-of-a-kind prints and a deeper appreciation for experimental photography.
Join us to unleash your creativity and experiment with the unpredictable beauty of chemigrams!
