Saturday, October 3 and Sunday, October 4
1:00 - 3:00 pm
Explore the magic of cyanotypes in this hands-on, two-part workshop perfect for beginners and creatives of all kinds! One of the first photographic processes ever developed, cyanotypes (also known as blueprints or sunprints) allow you to create unique prints from natural and/or found objects. Using light-sensitive chemicals, we will use objects like leaves, flowers, lace, jewelry and more! (supplies will be provided, but feel free to bring your own)
In Class 1, you’ll learn the basics of the historic sun-printing technique and create your own set of blue-and-white designs on paper and fabric. We’ll discuss other ways to create your own prints at home and how various printing methods can change a finished design.
In Class 2, we’ll take your prints further by introducing toning techniques that shift the cyanotype’s signature blue with tea, coffee, red wine, and more! You’ll also have an opportunity to create larger wearable prints on items brought from home and provided fabric.
This workshop is limited to 10 participants.
Instructor: Eve Holzman
