Artist and art instructor Micah Kraus demonstrates how to transfer images onto surfaces such as wood or canvas using photocopies of photographs and eucalyptus oil. Registration begins January 8.
Register online, in person, or by phone at 330.784.7522.
In this class, participants will use eucalyptus oil to transfer photocopies of photographs, drawings, digital artwork, or collages to create distinctive prints. This quick and creative process produces a mirror image of the original and adds rich analog texture. Participants are encouraged to bring their own imagery (photographs, drawings, digital artwork, or collages) to explore the transfer process.
