Inspired by Malin Fabbri’s book of the same name, this workshop introduces you to the natural cousin of the cyanotype: the anthotype, a beautifully simple 19th-century process of creating images using plant dye and the power of the sun. Capture the ephemeral charm of native plants through this form of alternative photography, which takes advantage of the fragility of plant pigments under strong sunlight to create colorful impressions of foliage and flowers. What better time to try it than during the longest and sunniest days of the year? We’ll explore the science behind plant pigmentation, become better acquainted with the ecologically vital species used in our artworks, and each participant will take home their original anthotype print plus a second canvas prepared for a future print. Appropriate for adults and children ages 8 and older. Children must be accompanied by a registered adult.
