Printing with the Sun: Cyanotypes Workshop and Book Launch

Printing with the Sun: Cyanotypes Workshop and Book Launch

Join community gardener and artist Madge Evers at the Grow Food Northampton Organic Community Garden for a workshop and book launch of Madge's book, "Printing with the Sun."

At 4:00 pm, Madge will host a fun, creative, and beginner-friendly workshop on Botanical Cyanotypes, a magical, simple, camera-less technique that results in graphic blue and white prints. Participants will be introduced to the process developed in 1842 and will use plants to create a photographic image, called a photogram. Each student will have the opportunity to make up to two or three prints to take home. All materials, including pressed plant material, will be provided, but participants are welcome to bring their own pressed plants to use in their compositions.

At 6:00 pm, we will honor Madge's book, all about cyanotypes and featuring Madge's work alongside other local artists' work!

Please register for the workshop portion - no registration needed if you are only joining for the book launch celebration!

Tickets for the workshop are on a sliding scale, from $5-35. If the fee is a barrier for you, please select the "free" option. If there are no more free tickets left, email [email protected].
