About this Event
Cyanotypes are one of the earliest forms of photography, and they offer an opportunity for a unique creative dance with nature. We will use local plants, including some from the Olive Rush garden, and beautiful objects to create beautiful cyan prints directly with the sun. Cyanotypes offer an opportunity to let go of control and be surprised by the beautiful variations and effects that are achieved with natural exposure to sunlight. You will make three note card images on high quality watercolor paper, and one tea towel or scarf. All materials will be supplied.
