Workshops

Here is some general information about the workshops available.  If you are interested in something specific, feel free to contact me.  Check my blog page for the most recent updates on upcoming workshops.

In my own art, I work in many mixed mediums, so I love to teach workshops where attendees can explore various mediums to create unique and personal art.  I currently teach workshops in the San Gabriel Valley for libraries, community centers, city recreation departments, Girl Scouts, at Belle’s Nest in Sierra Madre and for other private groups and organizations.  Workshops can be a one time class, run Monday – Friday for summer camps and library workshops, or as a ‘once a week’ workshop over the course of a few months. I teach art workshops for children and adults of all ages.

I also provide professional lectures and speaking engagements for the professional photography arena.  After 25 years as a professional photographer, I enjoy speaking about the art and business of photography.  Please contact me if your group would be interested in having me speak on the business and art of portrait photography, pregnancy and newborn photography or operating a home art and photography studio.

Below is a partial list of workshops I am currently offering.  All workshops are for children, teens and adults.   I will fine tune each workshop so that it is appropriate for your age group.  If you are interested in a workshop for your organization, please contact me for a complete press kit.  I can be reached at janellmithani@gmail.com or at 626.344.2787.
