This workshop will explore methods and techniques for transferring inkjet and laser photographic prints onto various materials. Open to all levels of students, the course will cover several photo transfer processes, including acrylic medium, InkAid, hand sanitizer, and water slide, among other techniques. Mounting images and adhesion of prints onto a range of substrates will be considered a starting point for sculptural forms. The class will cover technical demonstrations, slide lectures, work time, group discussion, sharing, and review. Students will have access to Epson printers on-site, but are also welcome to bring digital images, physical prints, or other studio materials to use. This workshop will emphasize experimentation, trial and error, testing, and having fun.
Tuition includes a $75 materials fee
