Botanical Cyanotype Printing

In this class, students will make cyanotype prints of botanical compositions from natural materials. A cyanotype is a primitive photographic process that produces deep blue images after being exposed with the light of the sun. Students will meet at the Tool Library to learn the basics of cyanotype printing and how to prepare paper for printing. We’ll walk together across the street to Barclay/Oliver gardens to collect materials to print with and expose our designs. Back at the Tool Library we will rinse and process our prints. Students will leave with their completed prints, additional prepared cyanotype paper, and the knowledge and abilities to create more prints at home. This is a family-friendly class and we encourage you to enroll with kids (but please email [email protected] to correctly enroll multiple seats). Please note that all children under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult.
