Sun print practice

 1. Start by gathering supplies: photographic paper (ask Jeff), objects to use as sun prints (leaves, feathers, flowers, ferns, etc.), and a flat surface to place your objects.

2. Place your object onto the photographic paper and place the paper in a sunny spot (direct sunlight will work best). Place a piece of glass or plexiglass on top of your work (we have a few 8"x10" glasses).

3. Allow the object to cast a light shadow onto the paper. Depending on the type of paper, you may need to leave the paper in the sun for up to several minutes to hours to achieve the desired results. (your paper white area should turn to darker grey).

4. Gently remove the object in a dark area (darkroom or classroom without lights). Keep your objects for the your second attempt.

5. Place the paper in a dark or cool area to complete the process and allow the print to fully reveal itself over time. About a few minutes to cool it down, then process it in a "fixer" tray in darkroom or classroom.

6. Once the paper has faded to a light gray color, your print is complete. Wash it in a running water tray.

7. Take your print out to the well-lit area and exam your print (aesthetic and context quality. etc.).

8. Sign on the lower right corner (verso) of your print:

- Title

- Your signature

- Edition and date

9. Frame your work if needed or find a good way to display your print.

10. Turn in your project for class critic.
