Experiment with natural patterns and mindful making! This class will focus on various cyanotype printing techniques on fabric and paper to create a series of prints and fabric patches. Dive into the realm of this photographic printmaking process and fiber art methods in this hands-on class as a way to connect to the season and objects around us. Participants will learn the basics of cyanotype printing on different coated materials, as well as hand stitching and embroidery techniques that can be applied to fabric or paper artwork.
Participants will capture shadows through cyanotype printing, utilizing seasonally foraged plants of the region as well as everyday objects that hold memory or visual intrigue to print with on coated cotton fabric and watercolor paper. Once the prints have dried, students will have the opportunity to engage in slow, mindful stitching using various threads and materials as a way to respond to the printed imagery. Emphasis will be given to the importance of creative play, rest, and immersing oneself in the current season. These meditative processes yield unique, one-of-a-kind results, and provide opportunities to let go while collaborating with nature. Create beautiful, one-of-a-kind pieces that can be admired forever, while taking time to slow down and appreciate the diversity of patterns, shapes and ideas dwelling alongside and within us. No experience with any techniques is necessary to join!
