Learn through hands-on exploration with media
Workshops at the Reeder Media Center create spaces for our community to explore media-making through practice, conversation, and reflection. Sessions introduce tools, storytelling approaches, and production strategies that help ideas take shape through sound, image, and narrative.
Some workshops are scheduled events; others emerge in response to course needs or student interest. Offerings develop throughout the semester.
Workshops for Students
Student workshops focus on building confidence, experimenting with tools, and understanding how media choices shape meaning and communication. Sessions are designed to support class projects as well as independent work.
Upcoming student workshops appear throughout the semester.
