Botanical Cyanotypes on Fabric

Coating fabric with cyanotype solution can be exciting, but also tricky! In this workshop, we will begin with a brief demonstration of cyanotype printing on paper. This will be followed with a demonstration of applying a solution to fabric. Participants will then practice on fabric test strips, and observe the process of exposing and rinsing pieces of fabric that have been previously coated and dried. A discussion of fabric care will follow. Each participant will then compose, expose, and rinse their fabric items. Students will bring home their own cyanotype tote bag.
