LUAG Community Workshop: Photograph Transfers and Altered Images
Join us for an inspiring, hands-on workshop celebrating the creativity of all ages! Drawing inspiration from the vibrant and imaginative artwork of Nellie Mae Rowe, participants will explore the art of transforming personal or family photographs into original works of art. Using a unique wintergreen oil transfer technique, you'll learn how to transfer copies of photographs onto new surfaces and enhance them by hand with colored pencils, markers, and more.
Whether you're young or young at heart, this workshop is designed to bring generations together to share stories, memories, and creativity. All materials will be provided, and participants are encouraged to bring printed copies of their favorite personal or family photographs to reimagine through this unique artistic process. You can also be prepared to email image files to [email protected] for use during the workshop.
Workshop is designed for all ages, including children ages 4 to 94 and their adult companions.
Register in advance here. Space is limited.
