Anne Sonner – Family History Quilts
Photo Transfer Workshop
Wednesday, January 10, 2024
You won’t want to miss Anne’s Photo Transfer Workshop! In preparation for her workshop, you will email your photos to Anne and she will print them on fabric for you. During this workshop you will learn how you can do this at home.
Included with the workshop is one sheet, per person, of photos transferred onto fabric. 8 ½ x 11”.
If you would like additional sheets of printed photos the price is $10 per sheet, 8 ½ x 11”, payable to Anne on day of workshop.
Pictures that have good contrast and high resolution are best. On one page one large image can be printed or two 5 x 7" images. Smaller printed images are also possible, but detail will be lost on fabric if they are too small.
All photos must be emailed to Anne at least two weeks prior to class so she has time to do any needed photo-editing, including any enlarging or cropping you may request, and to print them with pigment inks. If you are emailing multiple photos you may need to email them one at a time.
Photo Email Deadline is December 27, 2023
