Come make seasonal notecards with winter woodland and holiday themes! Cyanotype, also call sun-printing, is an early photographic process that produces blue and white prints. It is usually done in bright sunlight, but can also produce beautiful prints on cloudy days, and can be done indoors with a specialized UV light. You’ll have a chance to try both sunlight and artificial light.
We will use a variety of objects, including evergreen branches, crystal dishes, lace, paper snowflakes, cookie cutters, strings of lights, ribbons, and candy canes to make winter landscapes and holiday notecards. During this 2-hour workshop you will be able to make 6 notecards.
Jennifer Booher’s cyanotype work plays with seasonal changes and the optical properties of light. She has been a Resident Artist with Acadia National Park since 2015, and Artist-in-Residence with the Mount Desert Island Historical Society since 2018. Ms. Booher is the recipient of grants from the Maine Arts Commission, the Puffin Foundation and the Kindling Fund.
