Rural Reimagined recognizes Dr. Jeremy Blair, a Professor of Art Education, for his Cameraless Photography Workshop in Historic Rugby.  Through this workshop, participants experimented with cameraless photography methods by creating botanical photograms in a darkroom. Dr. Blair taught participants basic darkroom techniques, how to forage outside for materials, and methods for creating stunning black and white photograms without a camera. He states, “I taught this workshop at the Learning Center in Rugby and transformed their furnace room into a darkroom. I then introduced a technique called Cameraless Photography or Photograms where participants forage for items outside, place them on photosensitive paper in the darkroom, expose them with a flashlight, and develop them through a traditional darkroom process.” The workshop was ideal for beginners and explored historic photography methods inspired by the Victorian era. Stay tuned for more opportunities to get involved with Rural Reimagined!

The Rural Reimagined Club and TAB is proud to announce part two of our Rural Journeys Speaker Series for this semester. Our second virtual conversation will be on Tuesday, October 27th at 3pm. Dr. Catherine Jones and Casey Garrison will both be speaking about their experience in rural education.

Dr. Jones is the current Principal at Prescott South Elementary (PSES), a Tennessee STEM Designated School. She has been working with STEM practices since 2012 when PSES participated in a major STEM grant partnering with the Oakley STEM Center and Prescott South Middle School (PSMS).

Casey Garrison spent her first 16 years as a middle school science educator and assistant principal at PSMS, where she developed and implemented additional STEAM-specific encore courses based on student inventories, resulting in PSMS earning their TN STEM School Designation. This year, Casey is Capshaw Elementary’s Assistant Principal.
