In this class we explore the excitement of transferring images.Imagine adding a family photo to your acrylic painting! That's what I did in the painting SIBLINGS #1 that appears above. There are many ways to transfer images and each one produces a different result. Here are just a few we'll cover during the class. Direct transfer into light modelling paste Gel transfers Packing tape transfer Dates: Friday Dec. 05, 2008 or Friday Feb. 06 2009 Time: 10:00am to 4:00pm Fee:$50.00

Lose yourself in the process of monoprinting on a gelatin plate.Using brayers and water-based block printing inks, you'll start the process of creating impressive and exciting images. The fun is in adding flat objects onto the wet inks before laying down your paper. The result, after smoothing the paper down, is referred to as a Negative Image. By removing the objects and laying down your paper again, you are left with a Positive Image (ghost image). You can draw into the wet ink with tools and brushes too! Do you see how endless the possibilities can be? Dates: Thursday Dec. 04, 2008 or Friday, Jan 23, 2009 Time: 9:00am to 4:00pm Fee: $50.00, some supplies included Pre-registration required.
