Confederation Centre Of The Arts Workshop this weekend!
If you haven't already signed up - now's the time!
Many people might consider 35 mm slides and Polaroid's old technology today, but both are involved in a workshop to create new masterpieces this month at the Confederation Centre of the Arts. Following the theme of photography in the Confederation Centre Art Gallery’s exhibit, Photography 101: push the button, the Centre is offering a workshop on creating Polaroid transfers.
Island photographer Anna Karpinski will lead participants as they convert slides onto Polaroids and transfer the image onto alternative surfaces such as paper, fabric or wood. The dyes in the Polaroid emulsion ‘migrate’ to the other surface while the image develops, and a new copy of the image is created.
Participants are asked to bring their own slides; however, there will be extras at the workshop available to borrow.
The Polaroid Transfer Workshop takes place Saturday, August 9 from 1-4 pm in the Schurman Family Studio at the Confederation Centre of the Arts. It is open to anyone age 13 and up. The cost is $25. Limited spaces are available; please register by contacting the gallery administrator at 902-628-6111 or artgallery@confederationcentre.com.
