CLASS DESCRIPTION

Join us for a fun, 2-hour workshop where you’ll explore the art of Cyanotype (aka Sunprints), 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 or fabric coated with a light-sensitive 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 a stunning, blue-and-white printed market bag using foliage, feathers, and found objects. All materials are provided.

Participants will create their own personalized cyanotype totebag and will leave with the skills and knowledge to continue experimenting with this fascinating medium.
