In this experimental class, you will learn to make your very own “sun prints”, or cyanotypes. Cyanotype is an exciting photographic process that was discovered in the 19th century and first used by the first female botanist, Anna Atkins, in 1843. In this class, you will learn the basics of the process to make your own prints.

At the beginning of the class, we will take a “Discovery Walk” walk at nearby park where we will harvest materials to create prints with. 

Then, using light sensitive chemicals we will expose the prints in the sun.

All materials included.

Enrollment begins September 23 and closes September 28.
