Multimedia Cyanotype Printing

  • Haystack - Center for Community Programs 22 Church Street Deer Isle, ME, 04627 United States (map)

$35
In-Person

This workshop will focus on capturing shadows with the cyanotype process on fabric and paper. We will record patterns, memory, and place through cyanotype by utilizing seasonally foraged plants and found objects. Dive into the realm of this photographic printmaking method through hands-on experimentation and investigation! Participants will learn the basics of cyanotype printing on coated materials using different exposure equipment throughout the seasons, as well as tips for achieving varied imagery with additional techniques. This exciting process yields unique, one-of-a-kind results, and provides opportunities to imagine through making while collaborating with elements of nature and everyday objects.

Makeup Date: Saturday, February 8, 1:00 PM–4:00 PM
