Experiment with natural patterns and mindful making through this hands-on workshop focused on cyanotypes! This class will explore the basics of cyanotype printing techniques with fabric and paper to create a series of prints and fabric patches. Dive into the realm of this photographic printmaking process as a way to connect to the season and objects around us, helping to capture elements of time, place, history, and meaning through unique prints.

This workshop offers an amalgamation of printmaking, photography, and fiber processes, thereby offering infinite possibilities for creativity within each mode of making. Participants will capture shadows through cyanotype printing, utilizing seasonally foraged plants of the region as well as everyday objects that hold memory or visual intrigue to print with on coated cotton fabric and watercolor paper. No experience with any techniques are necessary to join, and all are welcome!

Artist and instructor Katama Murray will also have an exhibit of cyanotype prints in the NBNC gallery during July, August, and September. Learn more about her show, and our gallery, here
