The photograph’s power as a narrative tool is derived from the impression that what is captured within the frame is an accurate representation of what actually occurred at a specific moment in time. As complete or comprehensive as any narrative may appear to be, it will always be subject to a process of including some elements and excluding others. These inclusions and exclusion are a crucial part of what photographic storytelling is all about - What is being presented within the frame to the viewer – and what is being left out or left to the viewer’s imagination.
Praxis Gallery presents photographic works that explore the development of visual narratives through the still image. Stories may take any shape or form; they may be literal or fantasy, documentary or fiction; complex or minimal.

INTRODUCTION TO DYE SUBLIMATION | ONE DAY HANDS-ON WORKSHOP
Instructor: Dan Fenner
Date: April 27, 2024. 11:00AM - 3:00PM •
Class Fee $85.00 (Light Snacks & Beverages Served)
Learn how to create metal prints, puzzles and photo gifts in this Hands-On workshop.
Have you ever wondered how they make things like metal prints, mugs, puzzles, coasters and more? Learn how you can do it at home with a fairly inexpensive investment.
Dye sublimation is unique in the sense that it takes a special type of ink, in gas form, and through the heat process transforms it into a solid. Skipping over the liquid phase allows the gases to penetrate the material. This creates a more durable product because it is creating a permanent color bond between the “ink” and the surface being printed on.
