After planning and scheduling my sun printing class, it finally happened last Thursday. It all started last summer when the weather would not cooperate. We rescheduled and rescheduled and then just postponed it to this summer. It was suppose to be the previous Thursday, but it rained. Our rain date was Thursday. The weather cooperated and it was a lovely and fun day.
Here are just a few pictures from the class. I had plenty of Setacolor and Dye-na-flow, my two favorites for sun printing, for them to play with.
Some of my pieces were hung to give them some ideas. Included in those samples were the ones where using the same colors and ferns, I compared textile, screen printing ink and Setacolor. (I blogged about the results here.)
I absolutely love the reveals!
So much fun and such creative peeps! Also, those ferns I preserved last year worked great!
And here’s the class together with one of their pieces.
Now that they know how to sun print, I hope they will do more at home. As for me, I need to decide what I’m going to do with all of those samples I’ve been holding on to for this class.
Wonderful examples, Lynda! So glad you finally got sunny weather. I saw one picture where lace was being used… how did that come out?
Hi Judy, Thanks. The lace didn’t work out real well. It was kind of windy so it didn’t stay down like it should have. I’ve sun printed with that lace before and it worked great.
wish I was at that class…looks so fun!!!!!!!!!!!! Nothing like this around me that I know of in Vermont~
What fun! If I even lived a few hours away, I would’ve loved to be there.

Karen, Would have loved to have you! It was so much fun and you know, just getting together with a bunch of fun women is a treat in itself. Thanks for dropping by and commenting.
Hi, What kind of flowers the lady in white (above photo) did she use? Many thanks.
Looks like a great class and the results were beautiful!
