Kids' Weekend Workshop: Cyanotype printing with Elisa Jane Carmichael

Children will use drawing and natural materials to create a composition on specially treated cyanotype fabric, and then observe their work transform through exposure to sunlight and water. Participants will leave the workshop with new art-making skills and their own print to take home.

While the cyanotypes are being exposed, the artist will also share a simple weaving technique with children.

Supervision by a parent or guardian is required. Ticket holders will receive a voucher for 10% off a purchase at the GOMA Bistro on workshop dates.
