*FULL DAY WORKSHOP*
Image Transfer Intensive

~with Angela Silva~

"Excellent Class! Very knowledgeable instructor - lots of great techniques!
I especially liked the mix of easy and more complicated techniques." - Jean Rowland

This full-day intensive workshop is a combination of Angela's two prior classes: "Image Transfer Techniques" and "Inkjet Image Transfers" - perfect for the adventurous artist or

This experimental workshop will explore nontoxic image transfer techniques using a variety of household, craft and artist-grade supplies. You will learn how to prepare toner photocopies and inkjet prints of photos, text or drawings and incorporate them into creative, personalized artwork.
                            
I will demonstrate and share tips on: selecting images; preparing and painting surfaces (using Golden mediums); transferring and layering images; sealing and varnishing.  We will discuss how to enhance your artwork, collages, altered books, art journals, and handmade books with your own personal imagery.
 
In this class, we will explore the following creative techniques and transfer images onto wood, paper, metal, canvas and fabric:

• tape and contact paper transfers
• transfers using acrylic mediums or paints
• image transfers with acrylic gel and inkjet transparencies
• emulsion transfers using special inkjet coatings: InkAid, Golden Digital Grounds and DASS Universal Precoat
• surface decoration (transferring without soaking in water)
• layering transfers over each other

You will take home several samples of image transfers on different surfaces. You can use them to embellish or enhance any collage, handmade greeting card, altered book or fabric art. You will also get a handout with instructions to continue practicing these techniques at home as well as a helpful resource list.

WHAT TO BRING:
I will supply prepared images, transfer mediums, and inkjet printer. If you want to practice on different surfaces, bring white tissue paper, Japanese and/or handmade art papers you already have, as well as fabric swatches, canvases, art journals, or altered book pages you might want to experiment on. Art tools will be shared, so if you have your own metal ruler, scissors, bone folder, X-acto knife with sharp blade and cutting mat, please bring them with you. Bring your own apron. Also, there will be a break for lunch, so please bring a brown bag lunch or lunch money.
