Come make botanical cyanotypes as a part of Stormy Weather Arts Festival in Cannon Beach, OR.

A cyanotype is a photographic blueprint made through a chemical reaction between UV light and chemically coated paper. Cyanotypes have been a form of scientific documentation for seaweed, terrestrial plants, and natural specimens since they were invented in the 1700s and were some of the original forms of photographic printing. Learn about the process and techniques to make cyanotypes using a collection of pressed seaweed and PNW flora. Each student will make five prints: 2-8x10, 3-5x7.

Your hosts and teachers will be Sam Block, a woodworker, photographer, and owner of Block Studio, and Alanna Kieffer, a marine biologist, educated seaweed farmer, and owner of Shifting Tides.
