Transferology — Creating a Visual Vocabulary
Workshop Description: Depending on the amount of time we will explore many different ways of transferring imagery. Techniques may include the following techniques depending on the length of the workshop:

• Xylene *
• Citra-Solv*
• Paperless Paper
• Thermofax Screen Printing
• Carved Stamps
• Fabric thru the Photo Copier
• Mono Printing
• Ink Jet Transfers (BJS 2000, heat transfer)
• Stencils
• Discharge — Bleach and Thiox*

… and how to combine them. Let this be the time to play — push the envelope — then fill it with your creative ideas.

We will be working in a small format with the focus on experimentation. You‘ll work on developing a personal “vocabulary” of imagery.

In depth hand outs on all techniques will be provided. Everyone will make a book of samples and notes for later reference.
The number of techniques covered depend of the length of the class.
