Family Book Arts Workshop: Cyanotype Pocket-Book
Children ages six to eighteen are invited to bring adult friends or family members to explore the art of cyanotypes. The cyanotype is one of the earliest photographic processes, made by placing objects directly on coated paper and exposing it to light, resulting in a detailed and vibrant blue image of the objects’ silhouette without using a camera. Participants create unique compositions of plant specimens, drawings, and found objects, exposing the coated paper to light to make a print. Everyone leaves with one-of-a-kind cyanotypes in a pocket-book and a basic understanding of this accessible and fascinating process. $60 is per participant.
