Adults
There's a class here for you, no matter what your experience. Some of our students can't remember the last time they explored their "artistic side". Others are quite far along in their artistic ventures.
We go out of our way to make you feel comfortable in developing that part of you that wants to be creative... a relaxed, fun and creative experience in July and August.
Summer classes run between Monday, July 7 and Friday, August 15, on the days noted below.
Adult classes are for students aged 17+.

Polaroid® and Emulsion Transfer
for Adults only
Monday, August 4 and Wednesday, August 6
10:00 am - 1:00 pm
A two-day workshop about two processes: Polaroid® transfer and emulsion transfer. We begin experimenting with Polaroid® transfer that can be used to "paint" with film by layering and collaging on paper. Secondary images imbedded in the film add a measure of interest and surprise to these collages. Incorporating additional materials, such as handmade paper, enhances the texture and complexity within the layers of each piece. Students will be asked to shoot a roll of slides or bring slides from home for the second day.
Day two explores emulsion transfer, a technique that uses color slides and projects them through a Daylab® onto self-developing Polaroid® film. The Polaroid® film is separated, leaving a latent image on each side of the ground, with one side consisting of dye used for transfers, and the other side made up of film used for the emulsion process. By placing the picture in hot water, the film can be lifted from the paper ground and transferred onto a new surface. The positive image from the original slide will be impregnated into the film. The film can be cut, torn, stretched and manipulated in any number of ways and collaged on paper to build a new image.
Instructor: Kristin Street
2 sessions, each 3 hours.
Tuition: $80. Cameras will be provided.
Materials not included.
