Phototechniques in polymerclay

Photo's can be transferred onto polymer clay. The different kinds of ink (toner, lazertran, inkjet) all demand a different manner of transfer. These different aproaches offer us different finishing possibilities and manners of using the clay in jewelry. During this course we will take a look at the different manners of transferring and you will learn how to give the photo's a shiny or frosted look.

 

On the second day, we will use one or more of your transfers in a simple silver setting. Then you will also need to bring your toolbox.

 

Included:

• liquid polymerclay
• use of the studio equipment
• instruction leaflet
• drink and biscuit

 

To bring yourself:

• pencil
• paper
• an apron if you wish
• 2 big packages of white fimo (classic or china)
• copies:

-black/white and color copy with a toner copy machine (copy center)

-black-white and color copy on an inkjet copy machine (copy center)

-black-white and color copy on a laser copy machine (copy center)

-with a color printer or computer printer: print on Multicom transfer paper (available at AVA). Prints made with a computer printer at home are mostly very difficult to transfer on clay.

-make sure to bring enough different types of prints (six prints in total), they will not all succeed, it depends on the machine which technique will work

• on day two: toolbox (materials for filing, soldering, drilling, sawing)
