Bethe -
There were two workshops scheduled at
Peters Valley this summer that are exactly what you are looking for. Both are with
Ernestine Rubin. One has already taken place, and the second is full. However, she is also doing a workshop next month at the
Woodstock Center for Photography that might be interesting to you.
Ernie is well-known in artistic circles, especially in Europe, and has been involved in art for more than 70 years as both artist and teacher. Her teaching style is unique (in my experience). At the beginning of each workshop, she has a private portfolio review with each student, and based on that assessment, she customizes her objectives for that student. Then, each day during the workshop she schedules another private session to review the work that the student has done against those objectives, and to identify a specific challenge for the next day.
While Ernie's work is technically challenging, she is not a very technical photographer herself, and relies on assistants to process film and handle the craft aspects of her art. Her workshops are similarly non-technical, and in fact the last two I was in with her, she had arranged for someone to process film and make proof sheets so that we could concentrate on vision.
