Creative Class - Botanical Sunprints (Cyanotypes)
<p><meta charset="UTF-8" /></p> <p>In this class you’ll learn how to make cyanotypes, a kind of sunprint named for its striking blue color.</p> <p>It works by placing objects, such as plant materials, onto light-sensitive paper and exposing it to bright sunlight. After rinsing the paper in water, places where objects were blocking the light will be white on a background of blue.</p> <p>You’ll need to bring your own plant materials to the class. Leaves and pressed flowers work well— anything that will lay relatively flat under a piece of glass. You can also bring other objects to experiment with, such as feathers or lace.</p> <p>By the end of the class, you’ll leave with 6 cyanotype prints that can be framed as works of art or used in any paper craft.</p> <p>If you’re interested in taking the class, but find ticket price to be a barrier, there are a limited number of spots available for volunteer assistants. Please contact Missa by email at [email protected] or phone 812-219-6119 for more information.</p> <p>Missa has taught alternative photographic processes, including cyanotype, to a wide range of people, from casual art clubs to college classes. She is the shopkeeper at Tree of Liminality and cofounder of Farmhouse Art Collective.</p> <p>Because this process requires bright sunlight, please note there will be a “rain date” on Saturday, April 19th from 2:00-4:00pm. If the class does have to be postponed due to weather, you’ll be notified by the morning of April 12th. Thanks for your understanding.</p> 2025-03-14 16:00:00 -0500
