Blueprints of Myself: Cyanotypes For Social And Emotional Learning

The third of our 2024 Linda Dubin Garfield Fellowship exhibition, "Press Change" workshops!

Led by Sofie Rose Seymour

Over the course of their history, cyanotypes have served as botanical illustration, architectural blueprints, a non-toxic photographic process, and more. In this workshop, we will explore how to incorporate these various uses of cyanotype into our art-making, and how this can open opportunities for reflection & growth.

Teachers and teaching artists will come away with ways to integrate cyanotype into various classroom settings -- but this workshop is open to anyone! No prior art-making or teaching experience is necessary -- just a willingness to explore and create. We invite everyone who is interested in diy printmaking methods and making work in community.

On Pressing Change Printmakers and educators Felisa Adderley, Joy Lai and Sofie Rose Seymour pull from their experience in both worlds to examine the ways the act of printmaking intersects with the act of educating — and how both can be tools to share information and amplify movements.

Adderley, Lai and Seymour are the Linda Dubin Garfield fellows at Da Vinci Art Alliance and their exhibition is the product of a year’s work. Over the course of the fellowship, these artists have asked, “How can we empower people to use printmaking to work towards the changes that are so pressing in our world today?”
