Join Mirage Club artists Anna Lisa Wagner and Maria Knofe for a guided nature walk exploring the poetic possibilities of Polaroid emulsion lifts.
Beginning with a slow walk through the landscape, participants will be encouraged to observe light, texture, color, and the small details that often go unnoticed. Along the way, we will create Polaroid photographs inspired by our surroundings before transforming them through the emulsion lift process—a technique that separates the image from its original backing and allows it to be transferred onto watercolor paper, creating dreamlike and unpredictable results.
This workshop is designed for photographers, artists, and curious beginners alike. No prior experience is necessary.
Together we will explore:
Seeing and photographing with intention
Working with Polaroid film in a natural environment
The complete emulsion lift process
Techniques for transferring images onto paper
Embracing chance, imperfection, and experimentation
Each participant will leave with their own collection of unique emulsion lift artworks and a deeper appreciation for the relationship between photography, nature, and process.
What is Included
Guided nature walk
Emulsion lift materials
Emulsion lift demonstration and hands-on instruction
Watercolor paper for transfers
Just bring your favorite Polaroid film and camera and create some magic with us!
DATE: JULY 25 3-7PM
ELYSIAN PARK, LOS ANGELES
