In this beginner class, photographer Andrew Pielage teaches lighting, composition, aperture, shutter speed, and ISO—all the tools you need to control your camera.

This one-of-a-kind weekend experience is designed to allow you to disconnect, immerse and explore. “Taliesin works like a charm on everybody that comes within its atmosphere,” writes Wright to his friend and client Darwin Martin in 1929. To experience Taliesin in its fullest, you will access a variety of historic spaces and the pristine rural landscape of Driftless Wisconsin; complementary housing is included in the workshop experience.

Each participant will be housed in a single room across the Taliesin estate in rustic Taliesin Fellowship dwellings, with shared bathrooms, access to a kitchenette, and living space.

Each workshop includes a welcome reception in the main residence and a tour of the buildings. Instruction will be held across the Taliesin estate, allowing guests to photograph a variety of spaces. Lunch and breakfast will be served at the Frank Lloyd Wright Visitor Center. Dinner is a wonderful opportunity to explore the local artisanal community individually or as a group - stay tuned for details.

Please note that we are not aiming at being a hotel or resort, but focus on carrying out the timeless elements of the Taliesin Legacy - connecting people, architecture, and the land.

This workshop experience on the historic estate does require walking outside on uneven hilly terrain and gravel walkways, as well as walking down terraced stairs with no handrails. Please contact us if you have questions regarding accessibility.
