DESCRIPTION

Join us at Foli-Arts for a fun, 2-hour workshop where you’ll explore the art of Cyanotype, one of the earliest forms of photography using sunlight, water, and nature. Cyanotype photography doesn't use a camera. Instead, you lay an object on paper coated with a special solution before exposing it to UV light (like sunlight) and washing with water. 

In this workshop you’ll learn the basics of cyanotype printing and create stunning, blue-and-white prints using flowers, leaves, and natural elements. All materials are provided.

Participants will create their own personalized cyanotypes on paper and will leave with the skills and knowledge to continue experimenting with this fascinating medium.
