Sun-Printed Magic: An Introduction to Cyanotypes with Holly Worthington
May 10 @ 10:00 am – 1:00 pm
Step into the sunshine and discover the magic of cyanotypes in this hands-on introductory workshop with artist and educator Holly Worthington. Perfect for beginners, this three-hour outdoor session will immerse you in the fundamentals of this historic photographic process, using nothing but light and chemistry to create striking blue-toned prints.
You’ll start by making two cyanotypes using pre-coated paper and fabric, gaining an understanding of how UV exposure transforms everyday objects into beautiful silhouettes. Then, you’ll take it a step further — learning to coat your own paper using the wet cyanotype process, an expressive technique that enhances texture and unpredictability.
Held outdoors to embrace the natural elements that make cyanotypes so special, this workshop is a wonderful way to experiment, create, and connect with a time-honored alternative photographic method. Please bring a snack, water, and sun protection. In case of inclement weather, a rain date will be announced.
Join us and let the sun bring your creativity to life!
Holly Worthington has been teaching darkroom photography and alternative processes for 34 years. The history, simplicity and immediacy of the cyanotype process has made it one of her favorite processes to teach and explore for herself.
