Cyanotype Workshop (Transmitter Park)

Join us for a solar art class outside at Transmitter Park.

Have you ever seen a blue photograph? If you lived in the 1800s you would have. By placing objects on special paper and exposing the paper to sunlight, early photographers created blue images, called cyanotypes or sun prints. Join us together with artist and photographer Amy Williams for an outdoor printmaking workshop using native foliage.

• No experience necessary
• You will take home a frameable print
• All supplies will be provided
• Ages 12+

Meet at the Greenpoint entrance at the Friends’ table.

*Registration required.
