Sessions & Workshops

Each year, the Albion Field Station offers one- and two-week painting and photography sessions as well as the long-standing weekend workshops in bird watching. Participants lodge and dine at the Albion Field Station facilities, while seasoned instructors lead out in programs at the Field Station and in scores of locations on the stunning Mendocino Coast. Families and individuals of all ages and all expertise levels are welcomed to these sessions and workshops.

Art Session

The summer art session provides watercolor, oil, and acrylic painting workshops for artists of all levels and ages. The session may be taken for one week or two weeks, and the two-week session can be taken for college credit. Instruction is provided by experienced artists John Hewitt and Dennis Simpson.

Digital Art Photography

The one-week digital art photography class is offered twice during the summer. Each week-long class gives students the option of three tracks - one for beginners, one for learning to manipulate photos in Photoshop, and one for honing composition skills. The class may be taken for credit or audit.
