Discover the magic of botanical printmaking in this hands-on cyanotype workshop—no experience necessary! In this 3-hour class, we’ll explore the wet cyanotype process using natural materials to create beautiful, one-of-a-kind prints.

You’ll learn the basics and some intermediate techniques of this alternative photographic method, including how to work with various liquids, texture-enhancing additives, and UV light. Each student will receive a materials kit (valued at $30) and have access to a wide selection of botanicals, both fresh and pressed, to experiment with. If you’d like to bring a small vase of your own, that is fine.

By the end of class, you’ll leave with 2 finished 5x7 cyanotype prints—and plenty of inspiration and extra papers to keep creating.

Bring a small scissors for trimming plants and either an apron or wear ’creating’ clothes.

Provided supplies include a variety of botanicals (pressed and fresh) and texturing materials.

Your Kit includes:  9x12 Backing board, Felt, Plexiglass and Clips, 6 assorted pre-coated papers, 3 Spray bottles of different liquids.
