Sun + Fun = Cyanotype Magic!
Perfect workshop for curious kids!
Did you know you can make photo-like art without a camera? It's true—and it's magical!
Join us for a fun-filled workshop where you'll explore cyanotype photography, also known as sun prints, a super cool art technique that uses the power of sunlight to create bold, blue-tinted images. With just special paper, everyday objects (like leaves, lace, or toys!), and the sun, you'll make your very own shadow art that lasts forever.
✨ Watch your designs appear like magic—right before your eyes!✨
No prior experience is necessary. Just bring your imagination and a love for sunshine. Don't forget your hat and a bottle of water.

Artist Statement
"Since I can remember, I have been fascinated by creating new things and exploring materials. I enjoy traditional crafts. That's why I love woodcuts and linocuts. In addition to my passion for woodcut and linocut, I also enjoy other different techniques such as etching, drypoint, and lithography.
Currently, I have expanded my printmaking practice to create one-of-a-kind textile, paper and glass arts in cyanotype. Cyanotype is where art and science meet. This old and magical process connects me with the past, the present, and the environment. The inspiration behind this process is the connection with the elements of nature: Earth, Fire, Water, and Air. The result is a range of beautiful Prussian blue."
