"Polaroid Transfers with the Daylab Copy System" Wed 9-4:30
5 – 10 4” x 6” prints (these will be the images we transfer)
Optional items:
Markers
Xeroxes, magazine cut outs, image sheets- images that have a special or personal meaning to you.
Your favorite rubber-stamps, ink pads, glitter, etc
Any supplies you would normally use for a rubber stamping/collage/Assemblage project.
Thank you for taking my class at Artfest 2007! As with all my classes please expect to work in small groups. This class is set up to be both a process and project oriented class. Each student has the option to focus on just the process of Polaroid transfers or completing a project. The class is designed and paced to accommodate both desired outcomes. The additional items are to make a finished project, feel free to bring as little or as much from that part of the supply list as you wish. No photography background is need for this class. Please note that this process is nondestructive to your 4” x 6” prints.
The $20 material fee covers the cost of the Polaroid film and water color paper. I charge the material fee instead of having students purchase the Polaroid film, which can be difficult to get in some parts of the country and by buying in bulk I can pass the saving onto the student.
