Summer SOLSTICE: Cyanotype Workshop

Cyanotypes are among the oldest photographic printing processes. Their distinctive cyan-blue color results from exposure to ultraviolet light.

Cyanotypes were first introduced by the astronomer, scientist, and botanist John Herschel in 1841. The cyanotype process was later used by botanist Anna Atkins Atkins to make the first ever photographic book in 1843.

Join Former MAC Artist-in-Residence for a workshop on how to make your own cyanotypes on paper. Participants will be introduced to the basics of the cyanotype process and will create a series of images on paper using and depicting the flora of Mount Auburn Cemetery. All materials provided but participants are welcome to bring their own pressed or fresh plants to use in their compositions.

Check-in for the workshop will be in Bigelow Chapel.
