Photo Art Polaroid Transfers
Embrace the happy accidents and imperfections of the Polaroid emulsion lift process!
Transfer any digital image, even from your phone, to a artistic photographic print in this 4 hour workshop.
Once thought to be a thing of the past, Polaroid has made a comeback in recent years and we are once again able to experiment with Polaroid film to create unique pieces of art from our photos! This seminar will guide you through the process of lifting the emulsion from a Polaroid print and applying it to watercolor paper. Between intentional manipulation of the fragile emulsion and the inevitable “happy accidents” you can produce interesting or surreal images. All you need is a digital photo (camera or smartphone) to begin this unique and magical process. We provide the technique, chemicals, paper, and brushes. You provide the inspiration. We use a portable Polaroid Lab to “print” your photo onto the new I-Type film, then lift and float the image in water in order to apply it to the paper. Each artist can manipulate the photo to their heart's content to produce truly one-of-a-kind images.
