Ive been really challenging myself to find new places to learn how to make different types of art. Grateful that places such @sharedprintfac exist and allow artists of all levels to come and learn new techniques and mediums. This month I went to the printing press jam and the cyanotype jam, and they host monthly jams on a variety of subjects, so I would definitely recommend checking out their site to see if any catch your eye. Thanks again SPF!

Had the lovely opportunity to learn how to create cyanotypes with my bestie Gil at the monthly jam hosted by @sharedprintfac , forever grateful for new ways to learn how to make art and express myself. Grateful for Luz for teaching Gil and I how to do this! What should we print next?
