Use your imagination. Make pictures with the sun.Children and guardians! Join us at the Marjorie Barrick Musuem of Art for Take Your Child to Work Day 2026. You’ll create your own sunprints (also known as cyanotypes) using light-sensitive paper, image templates, and natural or found objects. This free hands-on workshop introduces basic photography concepts and encourages creativity through experimentation with shapes, shadows, and sunlight.
This is a drop-in event for UNLV employees and their families. Come by at any time between 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. on Thursday, April 23. Each sunprint takes about 5-10 minutes to complete. All materials will be provided, and no prior experience is required.
Sunprint Workshop: Making Art with Sunlight is part of UNLV’s Take Your Child to Work Day program. A full schedule for the day, with activities in other areas of the campus, will be posted on https://www.unlv.edu/womenscouncil/take-your-child-to-work when it is available.
