I am currently travelling, and will not be holding workshops for a while. A big than you to all those who have emailed me and inquired – I look forward to setting something up in the future.

If you ever wanted to have a blog, this will interest you. If you are developing an interest in photography, photo manipulation and retouching, this is for you. If you want to take your hobby and turn it into a business, this is for you. This workshop is, basically, for everyone who ever wanted to have, and maintain, a web page with regularly updated content.
What is this about?
You have found your way here because you are interested in learning more about photography, photoshop and blogging. I don’t blame you, I love it too! It’s a great way to collect interesting material, work on your craft and tell people about it. A blog can be as simple or as complicated as you like, as long as it’s consistent. You can put as much or as little of yourself out there as you’d like. No pressure. No Rules. Just you and your CS5. So, without much philosophy, I will proceed to teach you about how to have even more fun, by becoming better at something you enjoy doing.
The goal of this workshop is to teach you to:
- Use WordPress/Tumblr/Blogspot/whatever else you are using, to its full potential.
- Turn your blog into your dream blog, and make those cool image and graphics you see and like on other sites.
- Turn your photos into beautiful pieces of art – crop them, size them, retouch them, embellish them.
- Use your blog to start a business and/or drive traffic to your other websites.
- Connect with more people who have similar interests.
- Learn how to use Social Media to gather a following.
These skills are applicable to a wide array of websites/blogs. Whether you enjoy designer clothing and fashion, cooking, illustration or cycling, you can use Photoshop and basic editing techniques to make your blog more interesting to look at.
Step up your online game!
You will:
- Learn new things
- Make new friends, acquaintances and people of similar interest who can collaborate on projects with you
- Have a fun day with a great group of people
What you will need:
- A free Saturday
- A laptop with a running version of Photoshop
- Camera (preferably a DSLR, but a regular “point and shoot” will do)
- Bring your creative juices!
What you will get:
- Mad Photoshop skills
- Cupcakes, lattes, photos and videos of the event
- Hangout in a cool, inspirational space
- A whole lot of fun!
The first workshop is taking place on December 10th, and is booked! Yay. If you’d like to know about future events, please use the sign-up for below.

This is a beautiful project, congrats!!
I need advice and tips and this workshop would be perfect for me. Business cards, photoshoots, blog content and photoshoping are all things I need to perfect on.
I’m starting to blog in a month or so and you need to come up! I want to attend a workshop
Love,
Hana
Oh Hana I wish you were here, this would be so fun with you! Can’t wait to see your blog up and running! xx
Hi Slava,
I would love to attend your workshop – I live in Vancouver! I recently returned from a trip and am not the most pleased with my pictures. I have the next few Saturdays booked (damnit! lol) but am free Saturday Dec 17th then not again until Jan 21st. What is your schedule looking like? What does the workshop cost? Do you know where I can take a workshop or short introduction course on DSLR cameras? Thank you in advance!!
I’m just working on my website at the moment and there is a lot more I need to improve on. You are an inspiration.
@Michelle: There will be an event at the end of January – perhaps that will work well with your schedule? As soon as I know details pertaining to times/costs, I will let you know.
In terms of the DSLR, I am not familiar with a class though I am sure there are lots available. I can show you the basics, but if you’d like to get a REALLY good understanding of the technical aspects of the camera, there are lots of websites that do a good job at explaining the functions. There are also lots of sites that have good step-by-step tutorials that you can take advantage of.
@Kot Thank you! I look forward to seeing your website up and running!
Awww I want you to do a workshop in Australia!
Oh Ella, I would LOVE to do a workshop in Australia.. Trust me, we miss it terribly! <3 Thanks, you are such a doll!
Mosaic Arts International 2012 will be held March 1 – April 30, 2012 at The Lexington Center Museum and Gallery in Lexington, Kentucky.
Do you do private workshops? I am in fashion school and want to start a blog but my schedule is crazy and I would prefer to meet up with you for an hour at a time for some one-on-one tutorials. And what’s your hourly?
