Celebrate Knowing Nature: Stories of the Boreal Forest with a guided tour and workshop!
First, go inside the exhibition with Jane Winchell, PEM’s Sarah Fraser Robbins Director of The Dotty Brown Art & Nature Center and Curator of Natural History, and discover the biodiversity and global importance of our northernmost forests. Afterward, join artist Patricia Scialo to learn how to make cyanotype prints: a “cameraless photography” technique using treated paper that chemically reacts to sunlight. Reflect on the exhibition and your own connection to nature by creating, exposing and processing your cyanotype print. This workshop will also provide resources, ideas and methods to further explore cyanotypes at home.
This class is perfect for beginners or those returning to art after a break. All supplies are provided, and participants will take home essential materials so they can continue practicing at home.
