Join teaching artist Melissa Wilgis in a hands-on cyanotype workshop. In this three-hour class, students are introduced to the basics of cyanotype, a historic printing method from 1842 that uses sunlight or UV light to produce rich Prussian blue images on paper. As they work, kids explore the connection between art and science by experimenting with composition, positive and negative shapes, and the way light reacts with light-sensitive materials. They create their own designs by arranging natural or everyday objects—like leaves, flowers, feathers, x-rays and cutouts—to form unique shadow images. All materials are provided, but feel free to bring your own objects to experiment with.
