SUMMARY:Printing With the Sun: Full-Day Cyanotype Workshop and Book Launch
DESCRIPTION:Join award-winning cyanotype artist Madge Evers for an exciting\, full-day cyanotype workshop celebrating the release of her new book\, Printing with the Sun. Cyanotype is a camera-less photographic technique for creating stunning art prints in dreamy shades of blue. You begin by coating high grade paper with a light-sensitive solution. Madge will show you how to work with patterns\, layering and composition to create two original botanical prints. You will also get to try the wet cyanotype process—a playful\, unpredictable variation that transforms classic Prussian blue into a range of rich\, organic tones. After a break for lunch\, learn to apply the cyanotype process to textiles! Madge will guide you through preparing and coating fabric and printing your designs. You’ll finish with an original cyanotype on a cotton tote bag—a functional\, wearable piece of art to take home along with all your prints. \nThe workshop fee includes all materials. Bring a bag lunch. Water and plenty of snacks are provided. Madge will be happy to sign copies of Printing with the Sun\, available for purchase at the workshop. \nMadge Evers is a visual artist who uses alternative photography\, mushroom spores\, and painting to depict plants and imagined flora. Her work has been exhibited widely throughout the East Coast\, and she has participated in artist residencies in New York\, Massachusetts\, Virginia\, and Ireland. Evers lives and works in western Massachusetts and teaches workshops throughout the northeast. Her new book\, Printing with the Sun: Capturing the Beauty of Nature with Cyanotypes\, explores the cyanotype process\, offering artistic inspiration as well as hands-on projects for developing printmaking skills. \n  \nHHG Members $130 \nNon-members $145 \nRESERVATIONS
