Join us at the Center for Visual Art for a hands-on cyanotype workshop led by CVA’s current exhibition artist, Tomiko Jones.

Tomiko will teach you the history of cyanotype, how to coat paper or fabric with light-sensitive chemicals, and how to expose your designs using sunlight or UV light.

We will supply the materials — all you have to bring is your creative mind and an eagerness to learn!

HERE’S WHAT TO EXPECT:
•Create your very own, brilliant blue cyanotype prints using only sunlight and simple materials – this will include creating digital negatives which is a bit more of an advanced level
•Receive an exclusive, private tour of the current exhibition with the artist herself
•Optional extension at ESP-HiFi after the event (more details to come!)

🚨 This event is capped at 25 people so grab your tickets now!

💙 About Cyanotype

Cyanotypes, also called sun prints, are one of the oldest printing processes, once used for architectural and engineering blueprints (hence the name, from its brilliant cyan hue). It is a photosensitive, camera-less printing method that utilizes ultraviolet light to create a “negative” print.

📷 Current Exhibition: The Intimate Infinite

This workshop is inspired by Tomiko Jones’ solo exhibition, The Intimate Infinite, which provokes questions about the human relationship with the landscape. Through photographic interventions that traverse time and notions of belonging, Tomiko Jones’ work reflects historical modes of artmaking while imbuing a contemporary urgency and relevance.
