3 Saturdays, June 13 - 27 9:00 am - 12:00 pm Beginning Printing with the Sun Taught by Courtney Christensen, 16+ Alternative photographic processes use sunlight to create contact prints on materials such as paper, glass, and fabric. This three week workshop will teach students already familiar with cyanotype and anthotype printing to advanced techniques, as well as introduce other methods of alternative photographic processes. Each session will include a brief history of these processes, instruction in printing techniques, and hands-on print creation. Students will experiment with various mediums in order to create photograms. In addition to in-class printing, students will also be given supplies each week to take home for continued practice. Apron/clothes appropriate for print-making with chemicals, and large seal-able box/bag to hold light sensitive papers. The Newark Arts Alliance will retain a $5 cancellation fee if a student withdraws from a class. Courtney grew up in the mountains of northern Utah and found a love of arts and crafts at an early age. After receiving an Anthropology B.A. at Utah State University, she spent three years in Japan, where she had the chance to study traditional folk arts such as kogin-zashi in the Japanese countryside. Besides embroidery, Courtney spends her time writing, painting, and creating cyanotype and anthotype contact prints.
