SUMMARY:More than a Blueprint: A Hands-On Cyanotype Workshop with Edie Bresler
DESCRIPTION:A special program led by A Yellow Rose Project artist Edie Bresler 
 
 A Yellow Rose Project participant\, Edie Bresler\, invites you to join
  us for a two-day\, in-person workshop at the Griffin Museum\, where
  you'll step into the luminous\, blue-toned world of cyanotype
  printing. Whether you're a photographer\, printmaker\, or curious
  creative\, this hands-on experience offers a unique opportunity to
  explore one of photography's oldest and most enchanting alternative
  processes. 
 
 Traditionally a lensless technique\, cyanotypes use only chemistry\,
  sunlight\, and time. You'll learn how to coat paper with
  light-sensitive emulsions\, expose your compositions in natural
  light\, and develop your prints using only water -- no darkroom
  required\, and completely non-toxic. 
 
 But this workshop goes far beyond the basics. Together\, we'll explore
  how cyanotypes can combine abstraction and precision\, nature and
  narrative. You'll have the opportunity to: 
 
 -- Create stunning prints from found objects\, botanicals\, and/or
  digital negatives
 
 -- Work on a variety of surfaces -- from rag papers to birch bark and
  fabric
 
 -- Experiment with portable UV light sources to extend your creative
  possibilities
 
 -- Get inspired by the work of historic and contemporary artists who
  have pushed the boundaries of this unique medium
 
 -- Troubleshoot issues and ideas in a safe and supportive environment
 
 Edie will guide you through techniques and ideas that expand the
  expressive potential of the cyanotype process\, encouraging
  experimentation and spontaneous discoveries through group
  collaboration. 
 
 Participants will receive a detailed materials list in advance\, and
  additional resources and inspiration will be shared throughout the
  workshop. 
 
 Whether you're looking to deepen your photographic practice or simply
  explore a new creative outlet\, this workshop offers a welcoming space
  to learn\, play\, and create.
