Core group classes with flexibility
Group classes and workshops are fun, economic, and interactive. You learn from an experienced instructor, and your classmates will have questions and experiences that add to your education. SKÖNPHOTO encourages class or workshop students to ask questions and discuss their experiences. People who love group classes often write they find these a wonderful way to learn.
Set group classes with a personalized approach designed to meet your goals
SKÖNPHOTO takes a unique approach with our classes and workshops. The session is designed to teach the topic, but prior to the session, SKÖNPHOTO asks for students' needs and questions. The class is then tailored to meet students’ needs and objectives.
Most classes are offered online (Zoom) or in-person at our New Hampshire studio. If you have a group and would like to have the class locally, that can be arranged. (Please sign up for a free online chat or a telephone call and we will discuss your group, topics, etc.
Traveling classes or workshops can be conducted for small or larger groups. These can be for fundraisers, family gatherings, etc.
In-person or online
Classes are available for people to take from anywhere. Classes are taught in English.
“Excellent class—Larry had a wonderful way of explaining complicated topics.”
