Sun Prints 101

Come explore the art of cyanotyping! Join artist and ecologist Burdock Irwin as they lead you through the process of cyanotyping, also known as sun printing. Learn about the history of sun printing, the fabric process and experiment with different found objects/plant matter to make your own! All ages welcome.

To support our mission of providing unique, earth friendly art programming we ask that you pay what you can (PWYC) for this workshop. Our PWYC model is not meant to create a cost barrier, but allow for those with the financial means to support us to do so. We trust in each individual participant's autonomy and ability to decide for themselves how much they can financially contribute to this workshop!

Folks can make a payment through Eventbrite, or in person at the workshop itself! We will have a cash jar and a QR code for folks to pay via PayPal.

Creative Reuse is a supportive space, open to folks with any level of artistic ability. Our goal is to foster expression and creative community, not perfection. Just bring an open mind– we’ll cover the rest (including materials!).

This workshop is a part of our Guest Teaching Artist workshop series! On the second sunday of each month we bring in a local artist to host a workshop sharing their specialty. This months' Guest TA is Burdock Irwin (they/them). Here's a bit about her:

"Burdock (he/they) is an artist, educator and ecologist living in Pittsburgh, PA. Their art often explores the interconnectedness of humans with the environment using film negatives, found objects, plant matter and poems to create pieces that blend two worlds together. They have worked as an environmental educator for the last eight years, and currently serve as a preschool teacher doing outdoor based programming."
