An Experimental Photography Workshop
Join us for a hands-on workshop exploring the beautifully unpredictable process of Polaroid image transfers.
In this session, participants will use images from their cell phones, print them with a Polaroid printer, and learn how to transfer the developing gelatin emulsion onto a new surface such as watercolor paper. As the emulsion lifts and moves, it stretches, distorts, and responds to touch, creating soft, painterly, one-of-a-kind images.
No prior photography experience is required. This workshop is ideal for visual artists, photographers, mixed media makers, and anyone curious about process-driven experimentation.
What to Bring:
• A fully charged cell phone with a few images you’d like to work with
All additional materials will be provided.
