Cyanotype Art

Create Art using LIght

Makerspace Assistant Haley Labian will show you how to create Sun Art Prints using cyanotype.

Registration Required

In order to make sure that as many people as possible enjoy the programs in our Makerspace, we are setting a limit of one program per month per registrant for Makerspace programs.

Create Stunning Cyanotype Sun Prints

May is the perfect time to explore the beautiful art of cyanotype sun printing as the weather begins to get nicer! In this class, you’ll learn how to use light-sensitive materials and natural sunlight to create unique, botanical-inspired prints

What You’ll Do:

• Compose your design using objects like leaves, flowers, or stencils (feel free to bring your own!).
• Expose your design to sunlight using cyanotype paper.
• Rinse your creation to reveal its stunning blue tones.
• Most prints will be completed during the class, but some may need additional drying time and can be picked up later.

What to Bring:

If you have specific objects you'd like to include in your design (like small plants or flat items), bring them along! We’ll also have materials available for use during the session.

Attendee slots are limited due to space and equipment limitations. If you register and are unable to attend, please cancel your registration as soon as possible to allow other patrons a chance to sign up. Please do not sign up for duplicate programs.

If registration fills up and you are not able to attend one of these sessions, the Makerspace has Staffed Hours every day where a trained Makerspace staff person can help you with projects such as this one or other projects you might have.
