Workshop Description
Early photographers used a method called cyanotypes, or sun prints, which involved placing objects on special paper and exposing it to sunlight to create blue images. In this beginner-friendly workshop artist and photographer Amina Cruz will cover a brief history of the cyanotype, perform a demo, and guide you in creating your own unique print using organic and non-organic materials.
Workshop registration is limited to 25 participants.
