FAQs
- Do we take the polaroid on the day? Can I pick a digital photo to turn into a polaroid?
We have 2 kinds of polaroid camera so you'll have the option of taking a polaroid at the event or printing a polaroid from a digital photo! Please email the photo to marashiiino@gmail.com prior to the event or airdrop it to us on the day.
For digital photos, since we're working with black and white film, high contrast photos are best. You can use a monochrome filter to see roughly what the polaroid will turn out like!
For taking polaroids on the day, the space is quite light coloured so dark fabrics pop better on camera. Feel free to wear dark coloured clothes if that's something you care about.
- Refunds?
Full refunds are available before 7 days prior to the event. 50% refund available more than 3 days from the event. No refunds when you cancel with less than 2 days notice. Feel free to give your ticket to a friend though!
Please contact us if you want a refund with less than 7 days prior to the event.
- Can I bring something to transfer the polaroid onto?
Yes! Although the watercolour paper shows up the best, people are able to transfer polaroids onto rocks, glass, sea shells etc. We can't guarantee that what you bring in will 100% work but we'll try out best. Light coloured and smooth surfaces are best for the black and white polaroid to show up well.
- Where can I see photos/videos of the workshop?
Check out the instagram or tiktok @marashiiino
- What will we be doing during the event?
First we'll take the black and white polaroid photos (or printing them from photos you've chosen). We'll then teach you how to transfer them onto watercolour paper.
- Why do I have to download the O3 app? How do I do it?
Attendees must sign up to the O3 free app to get their 3 hours free each week. This allows you access to the inside space, through the train. You'll get a QR code that you can scan at the turnstile inside the train.
