Phototransfer is an easy and fun process that, with a moderate degree of care, can yield rewarding results for the beginner. It’s also an excellent platform for storytelling. Over three sessions, using their own printed photographs and text, participants will learn a basic photo transfer technique for applying their images to a wood surface and explore simple strategies for applying text to their pieces.

Day 1: Introduction
– Tour of the exhibition, Are you sure? with a brief talk about transference, projection and image completion.

– Discussion of text treatments
– Discussion of potential printing surfaces

Day 2: Apply images
