Making Cyanotypes with Joseph Allen

  • Gizhiigin Arts Incubator 701 East Jefferson Avenue Mahnomen, MN, 56557 United States (map)

Creating cyanotype prints is one of the oldest alternative photographic processes. It uses non-toxic chemicals to develop a UV-sensitive solution that produces vibrant blue colors. Participants will be able to use plants and leaves from the surrounding landscape, hand-drawn stencils, or printed transparencies to compose an image. The composition is then exposed to the sun to create prints on paper or fabric.

Door prizes.
