Botanical Sun Printing: Section A
May 31 @ 10:00 am - 1:00 pm
$79
Cyanotype, also known as sun prints, is a camera-less photographic printing process that allows the artist to explore shape, light, and an appreciation of nature. In this class, students will learn the history of this process, use the sun as a UV light source, and create cyanotypes using plant materials harvested from Mt. Cuba. No prior experience is necessary, and all supplies will be provided. This class includes walking in and out of the classroom to expose prints to sunlight and using chemicals that may stain clothes.
This program takes place in-person at Mt. Cuba Center Saturday, May 31, 2025 (Rain Date: Saturday, June 7).
