Polaroid Transfer Workshop, with Jen Barrows

Saturday, March 9 (2-4pm) in-person at the Kathryn Schultz Gallery

$90 CAA Member; $100 General Admission

(registration fee includes a $40 materials fee)

Maximum number of attendees: 10

Registration close date: March 2, at 5:00PM

Join us in person for a fun afternoon of Polaroid transfers and emulsion lifts!  We will explore the different techniques and have time to create some intentional instant artworks.

What is the difference between a polaroid transfer print and a polaroid emulsion lift print?  A Polaroid transfer print transfers only the dye from the partially exposed negative from the polaroid photo onto another surface.  When creating a polaroid emulsion lift print the completely exposed photo is soaked in water and the emulsion layer is lifted off from the back and transfered onto another surface.

Materials are provided. You are welcome to bring Polaroids or your instant camera.
