Our May AIR Chantal Lesley recently has been really excited to learn about Inkjet Image Transfers with help from our Technical Director Alex Wieder.

"I've really enjoyed learning new processes from the staff here. Learning how to do image transfers has completely opened a new gateway to my practice and has me rethinking how I look at, and how I want to display my images. This week I'm excited to work on transferring images onto materials like fabric and wood to make my own versions of artifacts from my cultures."

“When traveling it’s important for me to collaborate and befriend local artists, expand my network and exchange creative energy. I reached out to Amira ( ), a Johannesburg based photographer and creative, and we turned what was supposed to be a quick shoot into an all day affair at her beautiful home featuring local South African brands.” -
