Experimental Cyanotype
Led by Autumn Kioti
$50 (includes a materials fee)
Join artist/master naturalist Autumn Kioti on a journey to the intersection of science, nature, and art.
Cyanotyping is a process in which paper coated with UV light sensitive chemicals creates images when objects are placed on its surface; in essence, it is cameraless photography that comes to life using the power of the sun.
Participants will learn about the chemicals used in the process, how to mix and apply them, and also have the opportunity to explore non-traditional techniques using natural kitchen items to add color or texture. They will plan their own artwork with plants and other objects, and use this light sensitive process to create blue toned prints. Attendees will leave with 1 – 3 works.
All materials included. Participants are welcomed and encouraged to bring their own plant matter or other 2D objects, transparencies, or negatives from home with which to experiment.
