This photographic process is also known as sun printing because the sun can be utilized as the main light source for your exposures. Cyanotype printing is unique in that it allows you to use real life objects\, stencils\, drawings\, and even photo negatives to produce beautiful Prussian blueprints on both artist paper and fabric. \n\n\n\nWe will lead you through the cyanotype print making process from start to finish\, beginning with a discussion of the specific tools and supplies involved\, as well as options for prepping your cyanotype solution\, paper\, and fabric. You will then experiment with exposures by using different objects and image negatives to produce your unique prints. Lastly\, you will learn to rinse and dry out your prints\, so they are complete and ready to show! You will leave with at least 6-8 prints\, including fabric pieces and artist print paper\, as well as instructions and know-how to re-create this process at home. \n\n\n\nPLEASE NOTE: For evening classes\, we’ll be using UV lamps rather than the sun to expose your prints. For afternoon classes and events\, we’ll use a mix of both. \n\n\n\nSupplies Needed: None. We supply all ink\, paper\, and supplies to print. Please wear clothing that can take a hit of ink or two. We will have aprons for you to wear. We encourage you to bring objects from home\, such as leaves or small\, flat branches. You may bring a photo negative printed onto transparency paper. (A simple 8.5 x 11 transparency sheet works\, just make sure your image is printed black and white!) We also encourage you to bring paper or fabric (white tea towels\, cloth napkins\, blank apparel\, etc.) to try out for printing. \n\nInstructor Bio: Becca Schillinger earned her BFA in drawing and painting from CCAC here in San Francisco\, and was trained by drag queens in NYC on how to paint a fashion-week worthy face.  She is a resident DIY rockstar\, offering her talents across a number of WorkshopSF classes. \n\nThe rules / important stuff: We have a NO EXCEPTIONS 72 HOUR CANCELLATION policy – this includes cancellation\, re-books\, gift certificates\, moving classes\, etc. For more information on canceling a class\, please read our cancellation policy.

We also encourage you to bring a few items of your own to work on if you like. Your instructor will guide you through all hemming and repair techniques but will not directly mend your selected items. That’s where you come in!!
