Adult Workshop: REGISTRATION REQUIRED, $60 per person
Magical and simple cyanotypes are a camera less technique that results in graphic blue and white prints. Participants will be introduced to an alternative photographic process developed in 1842 and will use plants to create a photographic image, called a photogram. Each student will have the opportunity to make four 6 x 9-inch prints to take home. All materials, including pressed plant material, will be provided, but participants are welcome to bring objects or pressed plants with interesting silhouettes from home to use in their compositions.
