We are so excited to be hosting this workshop for the second time this year because it was SO MUCH FUN! Learn how to make your own cyanotype sun print from artist Nicole Groleau of Bleueprint. Sunprinting involves laying objects on paper coated with a solution of iron salts before exposing it to light and washing with water to create white images on a blue background. Take home your own keepsake print of farm flowers and grasses-perfect for framing and hanging on your wall! We will be using fresh flowers as well as pressed petals, and choose from a piece of pre-treated paper or a square of canvas that you could use as a patch!
The workshop includes:
- Light refreshments
- An in-depth flower farm tour
- A petite mixed bouquet of seasonal flowers to take home
- A lesson from Nicole on Sunprinting
- All materials to make your own sunprint at the farm (print on paper OR canvas, using farm flowers (fresh and dried)
