SPRING 2010 CLASSES
Click on a title below to see class description!
| Photo Transfer Workshop with Lisa Dimondstein & Sandra Shenk |
Adults (ages 16 and up)
Saturday, March 27
10:00am-4:00pm |
|
|
Learn the magic of manipulating your own slide or print images using transfer and emulsion-lift techniques. Photo transfers offer exciting, artistic possibilities. It is the process of exposing a 35mm slide or a 4x6 print onto Fuji instant film and then transferring the image onto watercolor paper. Due to the nature of the process, each print is an original, one-of-a-kind piece. This crossover art form offers an opportunity for unique, creative expression and experimentation. Returning students will note that we are offering two new experiences: we will be working entirely with Fuji film (Polaroid no longer makes 669 film) and we will be offering use of the Daylab Copier to make transfers from 4x6” prints or smaller. Bring your own slides and/or prints and a bag lunch. All other supplies included!
