Cyanotype Printing Class

Sun prints, also called cyanotypes, have been used to make records of plants for hundreds of years. Sun print paper is coated with chemicals which react when exposed to sunlight. When you place objects such as leaves on the paper, they block the light so that the paper remains white while the areas on the paper around the leaves turn a beautiful Prussian blue. Water stops the process and fixes your images on the paper. 

Bring any flat, interesting objects you’d like to make a print of such as ferns, lace, flowers, leaves, mesh and we will experiment! The prints can be used as cards or art for your home.

Registration is required. For ages 13+.
