The wet transfer process yields one-of-a-kind, handmade prints from images made using archival inks and digital printers. In this one day workshop, we'll start with a demonstration of how to digitally print our photographs on to a special plastic transfer film. Then, we'll roll up our sleeves and learn how to use combinations of alcohol, water, and even Purell sanitizer to hand transfer the photograph from the plastic film to art papers, mulberry paper, tissue paper, and more (the instructor uses this process to print on vintage envelopes!). Depending on the technique used for making the wet transfer, an almost limitless variety of effects and manipulations can be achieved. We'll make a cleanly transferred image to beautiful printmaking paper, a distressed and 'imperfect' transfer to wrinkled acid free tissue paper, a transfer with a loosely hand-brushed border, and more. The workshop will include demonstrations and hands-on practice, and students will leave with their own transfer prints. All materials will be included in the price of this class.
