Portrait of A Place Boot Camp
Please read and watch all of the content here to prepare for Wednesday's Boot Camp.  You will have a better understanding of what to do at each station if you have prepared. 
Hands-on Rotations at Stations to Try the Various Techniques 20-25 minutes per station
Station One:  Laser Etching in Innovation Center with Mr. Lamp
    • leather
    • wood
    • fabric
    • other options that are less photographic, more linear include tile, wall paper samples etc.
    • Requirements of how to choose and prepare an image for this process
      • The laser is burning an image into the surface to etch a version of the photo. 
      • The image will be monochromatic with very little color variation.
      • Choose an image that has a good range of value (similar to the cyanotype images). 
      • Use levels to adjust. 
      • High contrast images will print as line art only
      • Save the image as a jpg file, not PSD as the computer in the Innovation Center doesn't have the same version
      • Try to have a smooth surface to print onto (if using wood consider lightly sanding it)
      • Fabric should be thick enough to withstand the burning of the laser
      • Fragile materials will not work
      • Pay attention to the recommended settings of the printing  that Mr. Lamp will guide you through at the laser etching station.

Station Two: Image Transfer-Learn about the difference between these processes and what you can transfer onto and why. For all of these image transfer processes you will print your image onto image transfer film (transparency).  This is different from the negative transparencies we used for cyanotype.  It is meant to release the image emulsion from the film and transfer it to wood, metal, glass or whatever you choose to transfer to.
Watch the video for each of these processes. 
    • Purell Hand Sanitizer-clean with water, transfer onto porous surfaces, transfer while wet.
      • This process works best for fragile papers with a tight weave.
      • It sometimes works on fabric or wood, but is less clear
      • Making a paper collage is one way to use this method
      • Use really delicate rice, hand-made and other papers, book pages etc.
      • Coat the paper you wish to transfer onto with a layer or two of the purell.  It must be wet for the transfer to work. 
        • Coat Surface: Using the sponge brush coat the surface until wet and saturated, but not dripping.
        • You want it wet enough to create a print, but not a swimming pool of hand sanitizer.
        • Carefully place the emulsion side of the transparency down onto the surface.
        • You can lightly roll over with the brayer or your hand smoothing gently, not pressing down. Wait about a minute.
        • Gently peel back the transparency to reveal your transfer.
        • Let dry thoroughly.  Depending on the desired effect you can seal with ModPodge when thoroughly dry.

    • Super Sauce - concentrate vs solution must clean with alcohol
      • Depending on the type of surface you are transferring onto you will use either the Concentrate and diluted solution of the Super Sauce or you will only the diluted solution. 
      • Read the recipe in the book carefully so you know which to use.
      • The jelly jars contain the diluted solution
      • The plastic bottle from the company (DASS) has the concentrate.  Pour some in a container if you're using.  NEVER STICK YOUR BRUSH INTO THE CONTAINER OR YOU WILL CONTAMINATE IT.

Image Transfer onto Metal with Super Sauce



    • WonderSauce- water based can clean with water






Station Three: Alternative Substrates
    • fabric-stitching and felting  See the following page for details on these processes. 
    • alternate papers consider what other kinds of papers you could print on such as vellum, butcher paper, pages from a book or old letters. 
    • Make your own digital substrate by using collage materials must be thin enough to go through printer or could consider doing a transfer onto it.
