Are you a creative spirit looking for a unique avenue of expression? You can choose to use
Image transfers as the focal image or to add depth to another medium.
In this workshop you will create photo transfers using photo laser copies, with wintergreen oil, lacquer thinner, Chartpak Blenders and organic solvents. We will concentrate on the various methods of integrating photographs into the surface of various art papers, cloth, wood support and canvas. Each surface has its own qualities, and determines which method you use. Image transfers differ from collage in that they can be layered and become part of the receptor surface. Some transfers create a lovely aged and distressed image due to the various qualities of the technique.
Along with the transfer process we will be coating with natural beeswax, and mixing paints to create our photo encaustics on wood.
They can be directly applied to gessoed wooden cradles or to paper or cloth and then adhered to the wood.
Several methods of transferring text will also be demonstrated -rubbings, rubber stamp, old-fashioned typewriter as well as computer-generated text. Surface treatments will be introduced and demonstrated such as sealing objects in the wax and hand painting.
