Artist Activation: Cyanotype workshop with Aurora PhotoCenter

Join Aurora PhotoCenter on Saturday, June 26 from noon to 1 p.m. for a cyanotype workshop at SPARK.

Cyanotype is a camera-less photography made out in the sun, rather than in a darkroom. You place objects — such as plants — on top of a piece of photo-treated paper, and then use the sun to expose the paper. The result is an image that is an exact outline of the object. It’s a fun and magical way to engage photography! Although it may be new to modern people, cyanotype has been around since photography was invented in the 1800s.Come explore the creative possibilities of this fascinating process!

This activity is best suited for artists 7+ years old; minors must be accompanied by an adult.
