Sun Prints: Cyanotype in the Florida Sun

Service Description

A 3-Day Workshop in Process, Patience, and Finished Artwork $300 | All Materials Included | Limited to 6 Students This workshop is perfect for beginners to experience the magic of printing in the sun, while also offering a thoughtful, professional pathway to finished artwork. What makes this class unique is its final step: encaustic wax finishing, a process rarely taught alongside cyanotype that transforms prints into fully resolved, archival works of art. Using the sun as our exposure tool, students will create luminous solar blue / indigo cyanotype prints using botanicals and natural materials. Over three carefully paced sessions, students will learn not only how to make cyanotypes, but why time, patience, and proper process are essential for success. This is not a rushed workshop. Skipping drying and curing stages leads to failure—and this class is designed for success.
