Workshop Flow
- Doors open at 4:30 PM
- Mini presentation at 4:45 PM
- The rest of the workshop will be hands-on learning with guidance throughout. The goal is to complete at least two pieces to take home: a tote bag and your own piece of clothing.We recommend bringing fabric items made from natural fibers like cotton, as cyanotype prints work best on these materials. Please note that results may vary, and it’s important to stay open to unexpected outcomes!
