Learn how to turn your printed photographs into beautiful, lasting works of art on wood.
Begin with an online orientation where you’ll learn about the materials needed to transfer photos onto wood, fabric, and canvas. We’ll discuss and compare the different transfer techniques, and what to expect while making your own image transfers. Then, join us for a full-day, hands-on workshop where you’ll prepare and transfer your own photo onto wood and fabric. You'll have instructor-led, step-by-step guidance throughout the entire process. This fun, unique crafting experience is perfect for beginners and creatives of all levels. Whether you want to keep your creation forever or gift it to a loved one, you’ll leave with a finished piece and the skills to make more at home!
