Discover the magic of cyanotype photography in this hands-on, beginner-friendly workshop! Using the power of sunlight and natural materials collected from local environments, participants will create striking blue-and-white prints while exploring one of photography’s oldest and most sustainable printing techniques. 

Experiment with plants, found objects, and personal keepsakes to create one-of-a-kind botanical and photogram prints. Along the way, you’ll learn the fundamentals of the cyanotype process, safe material handling, and low-waste studio practices that make this art form both environmentally conscious and accessible. 

Perfect for participants of all experience levels, this engaging workshop requires no prior photography experience.
