Cyanotype Workshop with Emily Metherel

Celebrate the sun with this light-sensitive artmaking process. Cyanotypes use a photosensitive chemical process to create brilliant blue and white prints, that transform under sunlight in mere minutes. Participants will collage on paper and fabric materials in low light, then take their creations outside to watch them develop. You will create a series of paper prints, and a canvas tote bag.
