Program Description

Event Details

By exposing specially treated paper to sunlight, you can create beautiful works of art. Cyanotype is a photographic printing process that produces a cyan-blue print.  Traditionally used to make blue prints, we will create impressions of dried flowers and foliage instead.  During this class, we will step outside with our projects for about five minutes to develop the images on the paper.

Although this art form is also commonly known as Sun Art, it  can still be done on cloudy days. 

This event is rescheduled from 4/16/2024 due to weather.
