Fun With Sun Prints (Cyanotypes)! @ Knights Landing Branch Library
Jun 24 @ 12:00 pm

Get ready to make some fun art pieces with artist Elaine Nguyen! Cyanotypes, sometimes called sun prints, are a unique way of making art where we use the sun’s power to create images in shades of blue and white. In this workshop, we will use plants and objects from our environment to create beautiful images. You will have the opportunity to mix and match objects, test out the varying shades of blue you can create using UV exposure, and get to take home an exciting piece of art.
