Instant Dreams: The Polaroid Transfer
Often
referred to as "crossover" art, Polaroid transfers
blur the distinction between photography and watercolor, possessing
an ethereal quality that transcends photographic rendition
and plays on the viewer's imagination with dreamlike effects.
Each image becomes a personal statement with a handmade, one-of-a-kind
quality. They may be created as altars, triptychs, collages,
encaustics, or books. Participants in this workshop will learn
the Polaroid transfer process, transferring slides or printed
images onto watercolor paper, and hand-coloring them. The emphasis
will be on connecting image-making to internal process so that
photography becomes a tool for awareness and self-growth. Movement,
intuition, and play will all be vehicles for this journey.
Please bring a 35mm camera (not a Polaroid) with which you
are familiar, as well as a journal. The class will include
the use of printers to create the transfers. A list of film
and other necessary equipment will be supplied upon registration.

May Photographing
the Season’s of Big Sur
Big Sur abounds with natural beauty in every season. It is
a land where the waves of the Pacific caress the rugged California
coastline, where the sun and the fog perform their perennial
dance through magical redwood forests and over grassy slopes.
Participants in this workshop will contemplate with a camera
the beauty of Big Sur. On Friday night the group will meet
to prepare for Saturday's photographic excursion by invoking
the use of photography as a tool for meditation, healing, self-growth,
and spiritual connection. Saturday will be a time for connecting
with Big Sur in its late spring attire: the wildflowers, the
sunsets, the misty panoramas. On Sunday morning the group will
gather to share its creativity together.
No experience is necessary and all levels are welcome. Please
bring a digital 35mm camera you are familiar with, a journal,
and any existing photos you want to share with the group.
