Overview

Event Overview

Join us for an exciting workshop where artist Ria Rajan will demonstrate how to create Polaroid prints from photographs taken with a phone. Participants will create their own Polaroid emulsion lifts, removing the thin gelatinous layer that contains the photographic image away from the plastic of the Polaroid film, to transfer it onto a new surface. After a short introduction, participants will explore the preserve and take pictures using their phone’s camera. After images are selected, they will undergo the emulsion lift process. At the end of the workshop, each participant will have created their own image transfer and can take home a small collection of prints generated at the preserve.

Spots are limited to 16 participants. Register today for this exciting program!
