Cyanotype Holiday Cards!

Eve Sage is a local Boston photographer and designer who was born and raised in New York, where she fell in love with photography and exploring interesting subjects from behind the camera. While studying at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts University, she experimented with alternative photo-printing processes and has been deeply interested in trying new printing methods since. From studying photography in London for 5 months to taking ceramics courses in college, Eve loves learning new art forms and is always looking to find new ways to express herself.

Create one-of-a-kind holiday cards using one of the earliest photographic processes: Cyanotype! In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn the entire cyanotype process from start to finish, transforming blank paper into beautiful blue prints. Using light-sensitive chemistry and a variety of natural materials and stencils, you’ll design striking images - perfect for turning into handmade cards or small gifts! Experiment with leaves, flowers, lace, jewelry, and festive shapes and stencils to create unique, personal designs. This workshop is ideal for beginners or anyone curious about alternative photographic techniques. You’ll leave with 5-8 original cyanotype prints and plenty of inspiration for creative holiday giving!
