Cyanotype Holiday Cards!

Create one-of-a-kind holiday cards using one of the earliest photographic processes: Cyanotype! In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn the entire cyanotype process from start to finish, transforming blank paper into beautiful blue prints. Using light-sensitive chemistry and a variety of natural materials and stencils, you’ll design striking images - perfect for turning into handmade cards or small gifts! Experiment with leaves, flowers, lace, jewelry, and festive shapes and stencils to create unique, personal designs. This workshop is ideal for beginners or anyone curious about alternative photographic techniques. You’ll leave with 5-8 original cyanotype prints and plenty of inspiration for creative holiday giving!

• Students will learn about photographic printing without a camera and how to bring images alive without technology
• Students will get an in-depth overview of the history of cyanotypes and alternative photo-printing methods
• Students will walk away with 5-10 unique prints or holiday cards for themselves or others, and will be confident in making their own cyanotypes at home
