Let’s take advantage of the summer sun and use its light to make art!

Cyanotype is a photographic printing process that produces a cyan-blue print. Engineers used the process well into the 20th century to produce copies of drawings, aka “blueprints”. We can use the same process - essentially exposing specially-treated paper to sunlight - to create art!

We’ll have some items available to create your artwork, but please feel free to bring any objects from home. Anything that is relatively flat should work. Think about what might create an interesting shadow with its shape. Some common ideas include leaves, feathers, keys, jewelry, lace, etc.

Because this event is highly weather-dependent, we’ll keep a rain date of Sunday July 13.

The event will be held at Liz’s house. Please RSVP to receive the address.
