Moon Prints: Cyanotype & Visual Poetry Workshop
Moon Prints: Cyanotype & Visual Poetry Workshop
An artist-led exploration of light, memory, and one of the world's oldest photographic processes.
Join us at the Catacombs of Neto Art Museum for an immersive 2½-hour cyanotype workshop where sunlight becomes your creative partner.
Cyanotype is a historic photographic process known for its distinctive, luminous Prussian blue. During this hands-on workshop, you'll learn how to create cyanotypes using botanicals, found objects, moon-inspired silhouettes, and thoughtfully curated imagery.
We'll explore composition, layering, light, memory, and visual poetry, inviting you to create artwork that feels both personal and timeless.
Whether you're an experienced artist or trying cyanotype for the first time, this workshop is designed as a welcoming space to experiment, play, and connect with your creative process.
