Cyanotype Printing

  • Southport General Store 443 Hendricks Hill Road Southport, ME, 04576 United States (map)

Join us on Saturday, July 22nd from 1-2:30 to learn about cyanotype printing!

Students will make and take home 2 greeting cards and 1 canvas tote bag. We will be using plants, seaweed, shells, and other found materials to create bold relief images that resemble an x-ray!

Cyanotype is a 180 year old photographic printing process that produces prints in a distinctive indigo blue. The process was invented by Sir John Herschel, an astronomer and scientist, in 1842. Compared to other photographic printing processes, cyanotype is easy and accessible. No darkroom is needed, instead it uses the power of the sun.

Kids accompanied by an adult are welcome! This class will be taught by Sarah Spencer.
