Sun print and stitch

About

Discover the magic of sun printing with paper artist Ellen Schlobohm

Join Ellen for this slow making workshop where you will connect with nature through the art of cyanotypes, aka sun prints. This camera-free photography technique merges science and art to create ethereal images with distinctive blue hues.

Using pre-coated paper, Ellen will guide you through the composition and design aspects, using a variety of materials such as pressed flowers, plants, feathers and lace to create your photograms.

You will make several prints and in the second half of the workshop spend some time embellishing some of them with simple embroidery stitches.

The workshop offers a tranquil setting for creative exploration as you develop your prints under the spring sun and embrace the rhythm of stitching.
