Create artwork shaped by light in this beginner and family-friendly cyanotype workshop led by artist and educator Nikki Romanello.
Overview
Known for its rich indigo blue tones and beautifully unpredictable results, cyanotype is one of the earliest photographic processes — using light-sensitive materials to create one-of-a-kind prints with natural objects, textures, transparencies, and photo negatives.
This hands-on workshop is designed for curious beginners, creative experimenters, and anyone interested in art, photography, or process-based making. Expect an afternoon of layering, playing, and discovering how light, texture, and composition come together to create unique images.
Participants are welcome to bring photo negatives, pressed flowers, translucent materials, or small flat objects to experiment with during class.
No experience is necessary and all materials are provided. You’ll leave with several finished cyanotype prints and a creative process you can continue exploring at home.
