10 AM - 6 PM

Class Size Max: 6

Cyanotype is a photographic process that develops Prussian blue when exposed to UV light. This weekend workshop introduces students of all levels to the process and guides the creation of four to six unique artworks. Starting with a presentation of various cyanotype applications, the workshop invites participants to explore the process as a ritual of play with light and shadow. Through hands-on experimentation with intriguing materials, students will shape light and shadow by constructing sculptural negatives and installations with natural and UV light and capture their findings in cyanotype on archival watercolor paper.

Tuition includes a $65 materials fee
