During this 3-hour workshop, each student will learn how to use fabric squares pre-treated with cyanotype chemistry to create a personal cyanotype patch. Botanical materials will be available, and students are invited to bring their own objects to experiment with.
After rinsing and drying your cyanotype, we will have needles and thread available for you to sew your patch onto an article of clothing or bag. The patches will be approximately 5”x5” in size.
Optional:
Bring special plants or small personal objects to use on the cyanotype to create a silhouette with an image that’s unique to you
Bring an article of clothing or bag to adhere your patch to!
