Cyanotype Fabric Experiments

Explore cyanotype beyond paper and into textiles in this hands-on workshop focused on printing on fabric! During this class, students will learn the cyanotype process through hands-on experiments starting on paper and small fabric samples, building an understanding of exposure, composition, and material differences. Then we’ll transition into larger and wearable fabrics, using textiles participants bring from home and provided objects, such as clothing, small bags, and bandanas, to create functional, one-of-a-kind blue prints!

Students will leave with multiple test prints/patches and at least two finished fabric pieces that are ready to wear!

The materials fee for this class is $20. This is separate from the ticket price and is to reimburse the instructor for any tools or materials used in this class. This will be paid once, directly to the instructor at the start of the first class meeting. This instructor accepts Venmo.

• Students will learn about photographic printing without a camera and how to bring images alive without technology
• Students will get an in-depth overview of the history of cyanotypes and alternative photo-printing methods
• Students will walk away with a few test prints on paper for themselves or others, and will be confident in making their own cyanotypes at home
• Students will practice cyanotype printing on different kinds of fabrics and with brought materials

Eve Sage is a local Boston photographer and designer who was born and raised in New York, where she fell in love with photography and exploring interesting subjects from behind the camera. While studying at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts University, she experimented with alternative photo-printing processes and has been deeply interested in trying new printing methods since. From studying photography in London for 5 months to taking ceramics courses in college, Eve loves learning new art forms and is always looking to find new ways to express herself.

This workshop is beginner friendly and perfect for anyone interested in alternative photography, surface design, or wearable art. Students must be 18 years or older.
