Summary:
I was not sure what to expect but I was pleasantly surprised. Rose is amazing, she was so kind in answering my many questions during the print making. I learned a lot and it was a great experience doing it solo and was happy to have Rose doing this step by step by my side. It is fun to see the artist be great at what they like doing and sharing their art. I highly recommend this activity, I came out with many prints to frame!

This was an amazing and creative activity!
A different and fun way to do art. Rose explained everything very well and had all the materials we needed including nature items. We just needed to send her a few pictures and she made the negatives for the sun prints. Rose is very talented and personable and it was fun spending three hours with her.

Summary:
I attended this class with my mom while on vacation in Palm Springs and we had a blast! Rose was an awesome teacher! She is very knowledgeable and passionate about sun prints and art in general. We were moving around the whole time making art and experimenting with different techniques. We sent some personal photos ahead of time to make negatives to use as well as gathering foliage and feathers to try nature prints. I loved how everything turned out and had everything framed to hang in my house!
