Step into spring with a hands-on creative ritual, led by Kali McKeown of Sierra Sown!
In this beginner-friendly workshop, you’ll design your own botanical mandalas using cyanotype — the sun-powered printing process that transforms petals, leaves, and other objects into magical art.
With both step-by-step guidance and the freedom to experiment, you'll learn about the history of cyanotype art, essential techniques to get started, and best practices for sourcing and foraging natural materials.
During the workshop, you’ll create a few starter cyanotype pieces on both paper and fabric and end the class by making your very own botanical mandala created on fabric to wear or to hang, celebrating new beginnings, balance, and growth, turning the season’s energy into a lasting keepsake.
Whether you’re a nature enthusiast, a budding artist, or simply curious, this workshop offers a unique way to connect with creativity and the natural world. You’ll leave with a deeper understanding of cyanotype printing, a new creative outlet and finished artwork—equipping you to continue exploring long after the class ends.
