Join us for our third snailspace gathering! Snailspace is a series of outdoor experiences for those wishing to slow down and commune with nature and each other over art and tea.
This month, we’ll be using sunlight and found objects to create cyanotype and anthotype sun prints. Cyanotypes use iron chemistry and direct sunlight to produce vivid Prussian blue prints in just minutes — you'll arrange found objects like leaves, feathers, and grasses into compositions, expose them in the sun, and rinse them in water to reveal the print on the spot. Anthotypes use plant-based pigment as the light-sensitive material, and because they're slower, you'll set yours up at the beginning of the workshop and expose it in the background while working on cyanotypes. Printing materials will be provided, but feel free to bring materials you’d like to experiment with from home.
You'll leave with finished cyanotype and anthotype prints, as well as a booklet of sunprinting recipes to try at home.
Krystal Chang of Hua Tea will provide tea. Sip on a variety of flower teas as you create your sun prints!
No experience necessary, all skill levels welcome.
Each snailspace pairs a tea component with an art activity rooted in natural processes.
Workshop Details:
Date: March 28
Time: 11:00am - 1:30pm
Location: Ernst E. Debs Park (exact location will be sent to ticket holders prior to the workshop)
Class size: Limited to 15 participants
Skill level: Beginner-friendly - no experience required
