Lunch & Learn: Site-Specific Cyanotype

Learn about the transformative powers of light involved in a fascinating photographic process. Eric William Carroll leads this Lunch & Learn session introducing the art of cyanotype, a process that creates images of plants and other objects found in nature without access to a studio or even the use of a camera! This introduction and demonstration covers cyanotype chemistry, materials and exposure using natural and artificial light sources. Let this lunchtime overview whet your appetite for a day-long workshop that Eric will teach for us in August.
