In this workshop you’ll transform some of your own photos into unique artworks using a 50-year-old experimental photographic technique.

Officially known as the Polaroid emulsion lift, or more informally as a Polaroid transfer or Polaroid lift, this alternative take on an instant photography classic involves boiling, peeling and separating Polaroid prints to create handmade, one-off artworks.
