Use sun-reactive fabric to make a cyanotype print. We'll collect leaves and other foliage from around the library and lay them on the fabric. After the exposure time, we'll wash it for permanence.
Use sun-reactive fabric and learn the process of making a cyanotype print. First, we'll gather leaves and other foliage, or you can bring what you like. Next, we'll lay the items on the fabric and let the exposure begin. Finally, we'll stop the reactivity with a water and peroxide solution. This is a non-toxic process. You can use the finished piece of fabric on your own in whatever way you like--such as sewing it onto a tote bag, in an embroidery hoop, or hanging on a wall. Event will be rescheduled in the event of bad weather.
