Experiment with natural patterns and mindful making through a hands-on workshop focusing on cyanotypes and toning with natural dyes! This class will focus on the basics of cyanotype printing techniques with fabric and paper to create a series of prints and fabric patches, as well as toning or ‘over-dyeing’ prints with natural pigments from plants and food waste. Dive into the realm of this photographic printmaking process as a way to connect to the season and objects around us, in addition to exploring options for layering color and media with toning. 

This workshop offers an amalgamation of outdoor foraging, printmaking, photography, and fiber processes, thereby offering infinite possibilities for creativity within each mode of making.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. No experience with any techniques are necessary to join!
