Polaroid Emulsion Lift Workshop

Join this introductory, two-hour hands-on workshop to master the stunning photographic art of the Polaroid emulsion lift led by NYC based artist, Katalina Barrera. This class offers a unique focus on transferring images onto selenite crystals, transforming instant photos into ethereal, three-dimensional art. Participants will execute multiple transfers, leaving the workshop with unique, finished crystal pieces and the complete skill set needed to continue practicing this magical medium at home. All necessary materials, including Polaroid film, are provided.
