Overview
Graphic printed artwork printed in the sunshine! Note: This class is dependent on a sunny day — but if there is rain, we will offer a full refund.
Join this unique exploratory class for an introduction to cyanotype, a sun-powered printing process that creates rich white and blue images. Guests will enjoy using real leaves and other botanicals to create artwork from organic natural beauty through this uplifting process.
We’ll first cover how to properly prep the paper surfaces for processing, as this sets the stage for the magic to happen. With expert tips on how to arrange the botanicals in a pleasing composition, you'll take time to appreciate Mother Nature as you tap into your inner artist. The paper will then be exposed and developed in the sunshine outdoors, creating a striking blue color with the blocked botanical areas remaining white. This complex process is totally beginner-friendly with a guide and the proper setup, and you'll be amazed at the beautiful results!
Each participant will leave with several finished cyanotype prints on paper, which can then be framed, added to a card or sketchbook, or used in collaging projects. You'll love the entire process, gaining an appreciation for working with natural elements as you create a one-of-a-kind work of art!
