This drop-in cyanotype workshop will give students a hands-on experience making a cyanotype photo as well as a brief history of cyanotypes and photo. Students will utilize found objects (leaves, branches and other objects) to produce a photogram like cyanotype. Students will also learn about exposure and the relationship between light and photographic paper.

Come and explore the magic of photography and leave with your very own handmade one-of-a-kind artwork! Chalk masterpieces, fun with post-its and more led by City Studio lead artists; current SFAI students enrolled in the City as Studio Practicum Class and City Studio Director Amy Berk.
