These are strictly hands-on workshops that concentrate on the techniques and creative possibilities of Polaroid/Fuji Image and Emulsion Transfer processes. After a brief discussion of equipment, techniques and a demonstration of the process, attendees will concentrate on producing their own work and refining their techniques. Workshops are kept small so each attendee may have plenty of individual attention.

The studio is located near central downtown Asheville, NC, in an historic district where there are numerous bed-and-breakfasts, and within 3-4 miles of various motels.

During the weekend Transfer workshops participants will enhance their creativity while learning the technical skills and tricks to produce lovely, artistic transfers. Participants should bring 20-30 well exposed 35 mm slides, and/or a good selection of 4x6 prints (color or B&W) to work with. All equipment necessary for the process is provided by the instructor. Participants must arrange their own lodging and meals. A list of accommodations can be found on my links page.

"Hi Mary Jo,
...I wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed your instruction....I had so much fun I didn't want to leave. You were a great teacher and it was because of your humor and helpful attitude that I can say I will be back at the folk school in the future.... Thanks again for all your help and kindness."
