Learn cyanotype printing on fabric and paper with local artist Patricia Vega. Cyanotype, also known as blueprint, is an early form of photography.

Placing an object on paper or fabric coated in ferric ammonium and potassium ferricyanide and exposing it to sunlight causes a photochemical reaction that darkens the exposed surface and leaves a detailed impression of the object. Water is then used to develop and fix the image.

This unique art form requires careful attention to placement and exposure times, but the results can be stunning!
