Location: Garibaldi Restaurant @ InterContinental San Diego, 902 Bayfront Court, San Diego, CA 92101

Learn the art of cyanotype, or sun printing, in this interactive workshop 2pm-3pm led by Oriana Poindexter, photographer and marine scientist. Use natural materials harvested responsibly from San Diego's ocean and shoreline to create your own sun prints without the use of a camera. This workshop will teach you the fundamentals of the cyanotype process, introduce you to the different species of seaweed native to San Diego, and guide you in the creation of your own original prints to take home - usually something frame worthy. No previous artistic experience is required.
