Polaroid Transfers and Emulsion Lifts

Monday August 24, 2009   Polaroid Transfers and Emulsion Lifts 10:00-3:00
Take advantage of the last Polacolor film available and purchased by Seastone Papers for this workshop. Learn how to transform your slides or photographs to create fresco-like images by exposing a slide or 4” x 6” print or collage onto Polacolor film, then transferring the image onto a variety of paper surfaces. You will experiment with hand painting the image. You will learn how the skin-like emulsion image can be manipulated by stretching, sculpting or tearing it into different shapes to apply to almost any surface. The possibilities are endless and the process can be addictive. Bring your favorite 4” x 6” photos (color or b&w), collages, and/or slides.
