Cyanotype workshop with Elizabeth Harney @ Station Street Co Op

Join us to play with the power of sun, shadow, positive and negative space in a two hour Cyanotype Workshop. All materials are supplied but you can bring an image or item you love to kickstart your inspiration. It is easy, intuitive, full of possibility and the often unexpected results are magic!

Cyanotype is an early photographic process that creates prints of brilliant blue-green hues by exposing photosensitive paper to light and shadow. This analog process has been used by artists to represent many motifs including: beauty, life, love, death, fleetingness.

Elizabeth Harney is a practicing and exhibiting artist from the U.S with a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Fine Art, and three years experience teaching undergraduates at The New School: Parsons and The School of Visual Arts in New York City. 

In Elizabeth's Cyanotype Workshop you will discover how to create photogram prints from three-dimensional objects, such as plants, flowers, leaves, feathers, or lace. You will also learn how to enhance cyanotypes through double exposure techniques and the layering of hand-drawn images and text using acetate. With step-by-step guidance you will create your own unique works of art. All materials will be provided. You are welcome to bring some of your own inspired objects or images along to make your work truly yours.
