Event Info: 

  Discover the magic of cyanotypes, an early photographic process that uses sunlight to create vivid blue-and-white prints. In this one-day workshop, students will learn about the history of cyanotypes, see examples of how artists use the process today, and experiment with making their own prints on fabric and paper. Pre-coated materials will be provided so students can dive right into arranging shapes, exposing them to sunlight, and rinsing out their images. Everyone will make multiple cyanotypes during class, allowing time to refine ideas and experiment with different objects and layering techniques. To finish, we'll explore ways to display or reimagine the prints-as wall hangings with dowels, sewn into tote bags, or collaged into zines and other small projects.

Prerequisite:
None. Students must be 18+ years or older at the start of the class.

Bring to class:
Sketchbook, pens/pencils, and any flat objects or shapes you'd like to experiment with. Additional materials will be provided.

Instructor Bio:?
Ingrid Henderson is a Berkeley-based textile artist whose work explores the intersections of craft, fashion, and fine art. She often works with hand-dyed fabrics and secondhand garments, creating layered pieces that explore themes of belonging and transformation. Ingrid combines secondhand garments, hand-dyed textiles, and innovative techniques to create pieces that challenge traditional notions of craft and fashion. With upcoming shows in both fine art and fashion, her work continues to push boundaries, blending the two disciplines to provoke thought and dialogue. Ingrid has taught workshops and classes with both children and adults, bringing an emphasis on accessibility and play to her teaching practice. She graduated cum laude with honors from Wellesley College and holds an MFA from California College of the Arts.
