Join us at this community workshop and opening reception held in conjunction with Contact: Making Images Using the Cyanotype Process, a workshop-based, community-generated exhibition featuring cyanotype images created by the public.
At this reception at workshop, guests are invited to create one-of-a-kind images in our free artist-led cyanotype workshop. FotoFest’s teaching artists will show you how to use basic chemistry, light, and time to produce cyanotype photograms. Once finished, your images will be hung in the Silver Street Studios gallery as part of the Contact exhibition.
Materials for the workshop will be provided, but guests are encouraged to bring objects to use for photogram silhouettes such as flowers, small mechanical pieces such as gears, chain, and wire, or any other material with a unique silhouette.
If you are interested in creating a cyanotype image from an existing photograph, follow the Photoshop instructions in this video, and email your JPG file to info@fotofest.org with the subject line “Contact Negative.” FotoFest will print your negative on transparency paper at no charge.
Light bites and refreshments will be served. This reception is free to attend and open to the public. All ages are welcome.
