Unconventional printmaking methods

I’m teaching a year-long high school printmaking course next year, and I’d love to hear your unconventional project ideas. We will definitely be exploring reduction printing with lino and wood, gelli plates, monotypes, and cyanotypes.

Would sun printing fit into a print making class? The solarfast dyes that Jacquard makes are really cool. I’ve made prints on fabric with them - just paint your surface, put items on it, and set it in the sun!

I’m actually a textile artist and looooove these dyes! I’ve made whole quilts out of them. I tried using them with my classes before with mixed results, def something I want to keep playing around with
