Cyanotyping is sun-printing process that captures the silhouettes of objects in vivid indigo blue. At this gathering, we’ll create prints using plants, found objects, and chat about climate grief along the way.

🌿We'll provide..........

Come to create, to reflect, or simply to rest among new friends. This is climate optimism in action: messy, joyful, community-powered.

πŸ§ƒ Drinks and snacks available for purchase

β˜€οΈ Weather permitting, we’ll do our exposures outside in the sun!
