Cyanotype Workshop

The Los Angeles region has been shaped by waves of migration and settlement, from indigenous inhabitants to Spanish colonizers, Mexican ranchers to American settlers, and more recent immigrants from across the globe. Each successive wave brings their traditions and culture, including the plants that connect them to home, shaping the landscape and creating the ever evolving cultural tapestry that we inhabit today.

Using digital negatives made from the museum’s collection and clippings from the gardens, we will be creating cyanotype images that reflect this rich history.  Cyanotype, an early photographic process, uses simple chemistry, sunlight, and water to expose and develop an image. Participants will have the opportunity to work with these materials in the creation of their own beautiful blue prints to take home!

Please note: A $10 supplies fee will be collected at the start of the workshop.
