Instructor: Diane Moser

Use the power of the sun to capture solar prints from nature.  Cyanotype is an early form of photography that uses light sensitive chemicals and UV light to create Prussian blue x-ray like images.  Participants will be able to print on light sensitive paper, treated paper, a greeting card and a canvas tote bag.  We will have the opportunity to gather items from nature, but feel free to bring any special items you would like to experiment with.  Think thin translucent items such as leaves, fresh or pressed flowers, feathers, lace and photograph negatives.  

Limit 10 per class

Funding generously provided by The Community Foundation of the Rappahannock River, to expand FCCA’s outreach efforts by offering free, outdoor nature journaling workshops for underserved youth and seniors, including residents of Heritage Park and Hazel Hill housing communities. Programs will take place at locations such as Crow’s Nest Research Center and Patawomeck tribal property, with support from environmental educators. In addition to general workshops, specialized programming — including nature journaling for the visually impaired — will promote accessibility and inclusion. By combining artistic expression with environmental exploration, the initiative encourages creativity, collaboration and community connection while increasing access to meaningful cultural experiences.
