CYANOGRAPHY WORKSHOP
NOVEMBER 14, 2020 (2:00 - 4:00 pM)
Cyanography is an artistic process invented more than 150 years ago that has seen a resurgence in popularity. It’s now easy for anyone to create these beautiful and ethereal images which can be printed on paper or cloth. This workshop with photographer David Rehor will demonstrate different methods that are now made easy with modern resources. He will show you all the steps you can follow to create a cyanotype that is suitable for framing, sharing, or as a unique gift.
This workshop will be presented online via Zoom webconferencing software. You must have a device (desktop, laptop, tablet, phone, etc.) that supports audio and video to participate. Registrants will be emailed an individualized registration link.
