Image Transfers: An Online Workshop
Image Transfers: An Online Workshop
This is now a self-paced workshop, and links to recorded videos will be emailed after purchase.
Image transfers are a great way to use images in your mixed work or in your journal. Join in to learn a wide variety of techniques for transferring found images as well as images of your own. We’ll take look at a quick and easy technique using packing tape, but we’ll explore some more advanced techniques using acrylic medium and iron-on printer paper. Tune in and learn some great techniques to take your creating to a whole new level.
This two-part, online workshop was originally offered as a live workshop through Zoom that met for four hours. You will have access to the unedited recorded class sessions in order to work at your own pace.
Like the original, live workshop, this is pay-what-you-can workshop, so please select what you would like to pay below. Once you pay you will be emailed links to the two recorded sessions, typically within 24 hrs of purchase. This will be a separate email that I send out personally, and it is different from the order confirmation that you will receive automatically after purchase.
Materials:
Magazine images - Use several magazines since the transfers don’t always work with every magazine.
Black and White Photocopied or Laser Printed images - These need to have a lot of contrast, and must be created with a toner-based machine. Your local office supply store is a perfect place to make these copies.
Inkjet images on plain paper - We can use prints from your home inkjet printer, so have a few that are printed on plain paper. Make certain that they are clear and distinct with good contrast.
Iron-on transfer paper for inkjet printers - This specialty paper is also known as printable t-shirt transfer paper, and it is used to create iron-on transfers for t-shirts, but works great in mixed media work.
Packing Tape
Acrylic gel medium - I like Golden Soft Gel Matte
Paintbrushes and water cup
Iron
Surfaces - Most image transfers work best on top of artwork that is all ready started, so gather or create surfaces with color, lines, and textures that you can add to. Works on mixed media paper, canvas, and panel will all work, and most can be used in visual journals.
Optional Materials:
Solvent - Goof-Off Remover or Chart-Pak Blender Marker. These products contain highly volatile solvents that can be used to transfer toner-based images, but if you are sensitive to chemicals and solvents, do not use.
