In this class weʼll have some fun, use the new film for Polaroid(tm) cameras made by the Impossible Project, do some image transfers, discuss the incredible art of Lomography, and maybe even hand color a photograph. Several of theseundigital techniques will be demoed on First Friday, October 7. Class will be on Wednesday October 26 from 3 to 6PM, and Saturday October 29 from 1 to 5PM.
