This workshop is an introduction to practical AI image generation as an inspirational and creative tool, and will provide participants with the skills to produce results that exceed mere novelty or emulation.
Participants will learn basic principles for working with AI, best practices for prompting, techniques for finding original and personal styles, and processes for achieving good print-quality results.
There will also be discussion of the how AI image creation is achieved, and the ethical and legal implications of this new frontier.
