About this Event

Workshop:

This workshop introduces you to anotypes, a chemical-free photography technique that uses natural materials like turmeric, beet, and spinach juice to create light-sensitive emulsions. You’ll learn how to prepare your own emulsions, coat paper with them, and expose images to sunlight using stencils and negatives. The process is simple yet offers endless creative possibilities for anyone interested in exploring art with a sustainable approach. The workshop includes demonstrations and hands-on practice, with time to experiment with different techniques and produce unique prints. No prior art experience is needed—just bring your curiosity. All materials are provided, and you’ll leave with a finished print of your own creation.

Teaching Artist: Kai Navarrete

Kai Navarrete is a Kingston-based painter from Guerrero, Mexico, whose work explores the cosmos and the human body through sacred geometry. He creates vibrant paintings using traditional pigment-making techniques with organic earth materials.
