Lonaconing Silk Mill Workshop

Rate this Entry
Join me for my third workshop at the Lonaconing Silk Mill in Maryland. I have chosen to return in March because I really felt that the lighting was better than in the summer months when the leaves obscured the light coming through the windows (even though the leaves added a unique look to the images). We will photograph on Saturday March 2nd from 1:00pm till 5:00pm inside the mill, then outside of the mill till 6pm. During dinner we will spend time sharing our images with the group. This will aid us all in seeing different views, perspectives, etc.. Sunday morning at 9am we will head back out to the Silk Mill to capture all of those images that we missed. :) This will give us one full afternoon and one full morning to photograph.

About the Silk Mill:
The Lonaconing Silk Mill or aka the Klotz Throwing Company is located in Lonaconing, Maryland within the National Lonaconing Historic District along the Cumberland and Pennsylvania Railroad’s mainline. It is the last intact silk mill in the United States and was in operation from 1907-1957. Initially, silk was imported from Japan and China and the factory produced silk thread. During World War II that changed to rayon. The mill shut down operation in 1957 and has fallen into disrepair. The owner of the silk mill is trying to raise money to restore the mill and he allows photographers to enter the dilapidated building for a fee. After speaking with the owner the opportunity to photograph here may be lost forever if he is forced to sell.
