ADVANCED PRACTISE &
PROJECT DEVELOPMENT
- tailored for artists working with Polaroid, Multiple Exposures and other Lens-based photography
with Jari Poulin
PERIOD: FEBRUARY 23 - JULY 6
Jari Poulin's advanced studio workshop offers the time, structure, and critical support to move beyond experimentation and into focused, intentional project development. Designed as a project-driven lab, the course supports photographers who want to deepen their relationship with instant film, multiple exposure or other lens-based photography - whether through an evolving body of work, an exhibition-ready project, or an intensive exploration of experimental processes.
Jari Poulin's advanced online workshop is designed for artists who are ready to take their work further.
It is ideal for artists who:
-
Are developing a specific project
-
Want to explore advanced or experimental processes in depth.
-
Are preparing work for exhibition, portfolio development, or integration into an ongoing body of work
-
Seek a supportive, critique-driven studio environment
Students should arrive with an existing interest, question, or direction they wish to pursue during the course.
The class have 6 group session, and 2 one-on-one sessions with Jari. The group sessions is every 3-4 weeks.
The one-on-one sessions will take place on March 30 and June 15, with each student receiving a 25-minute private conversation with instructor Jari on each date. These meetings will take place between 18:00 - 22:00 CET/ 12:00 PM - 4:00 PM EST, though we’ll remain flexible if someone needs an alternative time or date.
The course allows time between sessions for sustained experimentation, reflection, and production, mirroring the rhythm of a professional studio practice.
The length of the course gives participants space to go deeper into their creative process and hopefully produce more work. The work is uploaded to a shared Dropbox well ahead of each meeting, allowing the instructor time to carefully review each project and prepare personalised in-depth feedback and advice. You would need a subscription to Dropbox for the duration of this class.

Participants will work toward a self-directed project, which may take the form of a cohesive body of work, a series developed for exhibition, or a focused investigation of a specific experimental approach.
Processes explored may include emulsion transfers, hand manipulation, hand painting, chemical alteration “souping”, mixed media integration, and other advanced or hybrid techniques.
Students are encouraged to push the physical, conceptual, and aesthetic boundaries while maintaining intentionality and clarity of vision.
Through group critiques, individual feedback, artist talks, and guided prompts, students will refine both process and concept. Emphasis will be placed on editing, sequencing, presentation, and articulation of ideas thus supporting artists in preparing work for exhibition, publication, or inclusion within a broader photographic or interdisciplinary project.
This workshop functions as a collaborative studio environment, fostering thoughtful dialogue and shared inquiry among experienced practitioners. Artists will leave the course with deeper technical confidence, a more focused creative direction, and a well-developed project that reflects your individual voice.
