Cyanotype Workshop



Step into the 1800s and make something strikingly modern.

Jul 11, 2026. From: 11:00 AM to 03:00 PM

Our Cyanotype Workshop introduces you to one of photography’s oldest techniques — a camera-less printing process that uses UV light and iron salts to create vivid, Prussian blue prints. No experience needed. Just curiosity, flowers, and sunlight.


What you'll learn and create



  • The science and history behind cyanotype — a photographic process discovered in 1842 and still breathtaking today.

  • How to arrange botanicals and objects on light-sensitive paper to compose your own unique print.

  • How UV exposure transforms your design into a stunning blue-and-white image you made yourself.


In-person workshop — July 11, 11 AM to 3 PM. Activity takes approximately 30 minutes. Spots are limited — reserve yours today!
