Intro to Cyanotype: Creating Botanical Prints
Description

Discover the art of botanical printing through the historic cyanotype process—the earliest photographic printing method. In this hands-on class, you'll learn how to create your own set of striking botanical prints. We will engage in a step-by-step demonstration of the entire process, helping you develop both a solid technical foundation and an eye for strong visual composition. You’ll gain practical skills in every stage, from preparing your materials to creating balanced, beautiful prints. This class also offers rich potential for interdisciplinary learning in K–12 education. Cyanotype printing can be woven into science lessons on light, chemistry, and plant biology; explored in art classes focused on composition and design; and incorporated into history or environmental studies through discussions of early photographic methods and nature observation. Whether you're a teacher looking to enrich your curriculum or a creative seeking to expand your toolkit, this course provides both inspiration and practical application across multiple subject areas.
