Sun Prints & Prussian Blue: A Cyanotype Workshop with Melody Locke

In this hands-on, three-hour workshop, you'll create your own one-of-a-kind cyanotype prints alongside artist Melody Locke.
About this Event

Step into one of photography's oldest and most magical processes. In this hands-on, three-hour workshop, you'll create your own one-of-a-kind cyanotype prints — the same sun-powered technique invented in 1842 and famously used by botanist Anna Atkins to create the first photographically illustrated book.

You'll learn to:

• Coat and prepare your own watercolor paper with light-sensitive solution
• Compose stunning prints using natural materials — leaves, ferns, flowers,

lace, and feathers

• Work with digital negatives, using ready-made transparencies to create striking

sun-exposed images

• Expose, wash, and finish your prints, watching them transform from pale green-

blue to deep Prussian blue right before your eyes.

No experience necessary — just curiosity and a willingness to get a little inky. All

materials are provided, and you'll leave with a set of original prints ready to frame or gift.

Everything is supplied, including digital negatives — feel free to bring watercolors if you'd like to add a touch of color to your prints. Space is limited — reserve your spot today and spend a morning making art with sunlight.
