Nature Inspired Workshop: Traditional & Wet Cynanotype

Sun Printing with Natural Botanicals, Host: Betsy Pare'

Join us in this "hands-on" fascinating and addictive, Alternative Photography Workshop.
Students will harness the power of the Arizona sunshine to "develop" their picturtures.
Beginners will start with traditional "DRY" Cyanotypes and then move on to "WET" Cyanotypes.
These two versions of Sun Printing will lay the general ground work for inevitable further exploration by students into this satisfying art form.

What to bring: Please wear old clothes and an apron is suggested. (We will take a 45 minute lunch break so you may want to bring a snack or bagged lunch). It is not necessary as plenty of supplies will be available, but feel free to bring items such as flowers, weeds, sticks and any little gems you might have collected over the time that you would like to include in your Cyanotypes. Items may be fresh or dried it does not matter, each will develop differently.

Supplies Provided by Host

Cost (including supply fees): $60.00
