Effective January 1: Masks are Optional in VisArts’ Classrooms and Studios
Do you love blue?
Explore the magic of cyanotype—the art of making one-of-a-kind blue prints using sunlight. In this relaxed workshop, you’ll learn how to turn plant cuttings, objects, and photos into stunning deep-blue images powered by the sun (and if it rains, we’ll cheat a little with a UV lamp—it works just as well).
With guided instruction, you’ll get hands-on with cyanotype solution: coating your materials, exposing your designs, and watching your prints appear like a slow-motion Polaroid. You’ll also learn safety tips and simple washing and drying techniques to keep your work crisp and vibrant.
It’s a timeless craft with a modern edge—and you’ll leave with your own mini collection of solar-made art. All materials are provided; but you’re welcome to bring a favorite leaf or object you’d like to print).
This Center for Craft Studies program is made possible in part by a generous grant from the Windgate Foundation.
This class is for ages 14 and up.
