19 Oct: Cyanotype Printing Workshop

Reclaim our city and your story through the transformative art of cyanotype printing on textiles, guided by photographer Adriana Martinez.

Cyanotype, a photographic process invented in 1842 by astronomer Sir John Herschel, offers a stunning alternative to traditional photography. This historic method creates striking Prussian Blue monochrome images using sunlight and water—an accessible and magical way to bring your creativity to life.

In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn to craft one-of-a-kind prints from your digital negatives. Experiment with plant materials we provide, or bring your own meaningful objects—like glass, toys, or fabric—to create unique, cameraless images that reflect your identity. Let your imagination run wild as you remix materials into personal works of art.
