This immersive half-day workshop invites participants to explore cyanotype printmaking through hands-on activities at the Earth Matter Urban Farm on Governors Island. The day begins with a brief introduction to the site, followed by an overview of cyanotype materials and techniques. A farm leader will provide guidance on foraging protocols and farm guidelines, grounding participants in the ecological context of the space. The group will then learn how to coat watercolor paper using cyanotype chemistry, expose prints outdoors, and forage botanicals directly from the farm. Each participant will have the opportunity to make and process unique cyanotype prints using their foraged materials to take home, using both pre-coated paper and the paper they coated during class. This class combines elements of printmaking, photography, painting, and creative botany, offering a unique opportunity to connect with nature, community, and alternative photographic processes.
