Cyanotype Workshop
February 23, 2019
1:00 pm - 3:00 pm
$35.00
Join us for a Cyanotype Workshop with guest artist Ashly O. of Indigo Sol. Learn how to create Cyanotype photographic prints using the power of the sun’s UV light to create deep Indigo Blue hues. In this hands on workshop, participants will use freshly picked ocean and botanical specimens, feathers, moon phase negatives, found objects, stencils, and other common items to create one of a kind pieces on pre-treated light sensitive fabric. Each participant will bring home two 8 x 10 pieces of their own.
The historic Cyanotype Process was discovered in the early 1900’s and is one of the oldest mediums of photographic printing. The simplicity of Cyanotype makes it a great introduction to those new to photography or alternative printing. The variations of beautiful blue tones and artistic flexibility also recommends this process for serious fine art practitioners.
Your $35 ticket price includes one glass of wine, all materials necessary for the project, and two hours of instruction.
Please dress comfortably and check the weather. Since this is an outdoor workshop, you may want to bring sunscreen, a hat, and comfy shoes.
