Learn the magical and mysterious technique of sun printing!  This process, called cyanotype, is a printmaking process and the oldest photographic process.  It uses UV light to create magical blue works of art, and this is actually where the term blue print originated!  

You will learn the history of this art form and how to create your own prints with wildflowers.  All materials and plant matter are provided, but you are welcome to bring objects to experiment with (glass containers, dried flowers, coins, etc.)  At the end of the workshop, you will understand the process and have made many beautiful works to take home with you.  All levels welcome!  

  • Please bring $25 to pay instructor for supplies.
  • This workshop will take place outside if weather permits.

  • Please Note: This class is planned as an in person class and we expect that it will run the full semester in person. However, there is an ongoing need to adhere to guidance and safety practices in order to safely manage the COVID-19 situation. The guidelines from state government and public health authorities change as time progresses and the CAC may need to make adjustments accordingly. It is possible that this class will transition to an online format at some point during the semester. In this case, tuition refunds will not be issued unless the CAC is unable to provide the same number of class sessions as initially planned either in person or in a remote format.
  • Please bring $25 to pay instructor for supplies. All supplies provided.
