Join Artist-in-Residence, Parker Thronton, in learning how to make prints of your favorite plants using a cyanotype process that develops images through exposure to the sun. This technique, which has been around since the 1800s, creates gorgeous blue images. We’ll bind the prints you make during class into an artist book that you can take home.

We encourage you to bring in your own plants!
