Illuminated Figure Printmaking Workshops

Making Wet Transfer Prints on Watercolor Papers from Digital Images

Dominique - Embryo, Wet Transfer

This workshop is the first in a series of printmaking classes for both photographers and other visual artists.  This class will teach students a unique digital printmaking technique similar in feel to a Polaroid transfer, but with the advantage of being able to use virtually any digital image.  The process starts with an inkjet print made on specially coated sheets of polyester film.  The print is then transferred to wet sheets of watercolor paper.  The results bring a new dimension to digital photography, introducing imperfections and rough edges that produce truly one of a kind prints.

Students will learn hands-on by coating the sheets of film, preparing them for printing and making the prints while in the class.  Each student will leave with several completed transfer prints.  Each student is required to bring 3-4 digital images that are ready to print.
