About this Event
Join us at Craftd in Costa Mesa for a fun, laid-back, screen-free cyanotype workshop! Get hands-on with the magic of sun printing as you mix your own chemistry, experiment with light and exposure, and create beautiful one-of-a-kind prints. ☀️💙
✨ Here's what's included:
- Learn the basics of cyanotype printing, an alternative photographic process that uses sunlight to create beautiful blue-and-white images.
- Mix your own cyanotype chemistry and learn how to prepare your light-sensitive paper.
- Experiment with exposure times and learn how to test for the perfect print.
- Create your very own sun prints using natural objects, shapes, and creative compositions.
- All materials and supplies are included — just bring yourself and your curiosity!
- Enjoy a small, cozy workshop with fellow creatives and plenty of room to experiment, play, and explore.
Whether you've never tried alternative photography or you're simply looking for a new creative outlet, this workshop is a chance to slow down, get curious, and discover the magic of making art with the sun. No experience needed — just come ready to experiment and leave with your own handmade cyanotype prints! 💙✨
