Chill Zone Activity — “Sun” Prints: Exploring Cyanotypes

When

Where

Discover the magic of early photographic processes through a hands-on cyanotype workshop. Using light-sensitive paper and the power of UV light, participants will create rich blue-and-white prints inspired by plants, objects, and photographic imagery. Experiment with layering shapes, textures, and transparency to produce one-of-a-kind compositions while learning about the history of cyanotypes as one of the earliest forms of photography. Participants will leave with their own handmade prints to take home. No prior experience is necessary, and all materials will be provided.

This event is free and open to the public.

Led by: Bryanna Knotts, Arthur J. Bell Associate Conservator; Adelaide Roueche-Beard, Pre-Program Intern
