What You Will Need - the printer
In order to do this process you will need access to an inkjet printer. Ideally, you will use an inkjet printer that carries "pigment inks". You can also use an inkjet printer that uses "dye-based inks", but the results may vary. Before you commit to this online class please make sure you have access to an inkjet printer that will work for you.
What You Will Need - the film
In order to do this process you will need the transfer film, purchased from either InkAID or Dass Art. You can use a variety of pastes, but you MUST purchase their transfer film for the process to work. Before you commit to this online class please find out if one of the suppliers deliver to your region.

Meet Your Instructor
Hi, I’m Margot Hartford, and I’m excited to share the art of image transfers with you. Over the years, I’ve spent many hours experimenting, learning what works (and what doesn’t), and developing techniques that make the process easier and more consistent. This is the course I wish I’d had when I first started working with transfers—it would have saved me so much time, frustration, and trial and error. My goal is to guide you step by step, help you build confidence, and inspire you to explore the endless creative possibilities of image transfers while developing your own artistic style.
