About the Event
Join us in using the sun's rays and pieces of the natural world to create shadow prints in stunning shades of blue.
Cyanotypes are one of the original “photographs”, and where the term blueprint comes from. We will learn what type of paper works best, how to create the coating for the paper, as well as the processes for exposure and rinsing. We will then go out into the field to create “on the go” cyanotypes using found pieces of nature on a short meander through the prairie. You will leave with a few different handmade prints of your own.
THINGS TO BRING
Standard attire and sun protection for hands-on outdoor learning: hat, jeans, sunscreen.
A notebook and a pen/pencil for writing and drawing (optional).
