Meet our new instructor Carey Gibbons, an Assistant Professor in the Department of Art History at the University of North Texas. On September 25th she will give a workshop on The Victorian Language of Flowers.

This workshop explores the nineteenth-century fascination with floriography—the “language of flowers”—and considers how Victorian artists employed floral symbolism to communicate themes such as love, memory, fidelity, hope, and purity. After examining examples of paintings and their botanical symbolism, participants will create their own symbolic bouquets using a selection of fresh flowers.
Drawing on historical floriography while making their own interpretive choices, attendees will leave with a unique floral arrangement and a deeper appreciation for the ways flowers communicated meanings in Victorian art and culture.

Meet our new photo instructors:

Cade Cargill has been exploring film photography for the last two years with B&W, color, and instant. He’s always been interested in analogue photography and appreciates the romance behind it.

He likes to take photos of friends, strangers, nature, animals, and explore the simplicity and beauty of life through capturing those moments.

When he’s not in the dark room, he is likely with his daughter and cat, playing D&D with friends, or at the movie theater. Cade Cargill


Maria Ruvalcaba has been shooting on film for the past three years and has grown to love the intricate development process.

“While I can appreciate digital photography, I feel most at home behind an analog camera. I take my camera almost everywhere, documenting candid moments of family, friends, strangers, and the places that make me happy. I’m drawn to the subtle details and everyday scenes that others might overlook, finding beauty in simplicity. Outside the darkroom, I spend time exercising, exploring nature, and picking up new hobbies.” maria 𐦍

Meet our new instructor:

Nicol Fuller has been practicing the art of origami for more than 10 years, creating everything from delicate flower bouquets to intricate framed insects and geometric tessellations. She has sold her art at the Denton Community Market , Etsy, The Dime Store and the UNT Co-Lab and has taught origami classes throughout the Denton area. Her work has been featured in local window displays, including installations at Patchouli Joe’s Books & Indulgences and an origami Godzilla displayed in the window of Brave Combo studio. Passionate about making origami accessible to all ages and skill levels, Nicol enjoys teaching both traditional techniques and contemporary artistic designs, helping students discover the creativity, patience, and joy that can emerge from a single sheet of paper.

With our next Film Happy Hour a little over a week away, we have some new guidelines we’d like to share to help us help all attendees have the best experience possible. These two adjustments will hopefully help Film Happy Hour run more smoothly and keep the chemistry flowing.

Please register online prior to the event. Link is on the DMC’s website. This helps us plan for attendance numbers.

If you plan to develop film, please limit yourself to two rolls per person per visit. We are so happy to have folks developing in the darkroom, but we are a volunteer run nonprofit and chemistry can get pricey.

Thank you so much for understanding and for helping us as we learn and grow.

Coming in August! Poetry and Cyanotype Workshop. Sofie + ↟ lora o team up to bring you a collab workshop of epic proportions. Get excited! Link on DMC’s website to sign up.
