Family Book Arts Workshop: Cyanotype Pocket-Book

Saturday, August 16, 2025 12–3pm

THIS WORKSHOP IS SOLD OUT. PLEASE EMAIL BOOKARTSPROGRAM@UTAH.EDU TO BE ADDED TO THE WAITLIST. 

 

Children ages six to eighteen are invited to bring adult friends or family members to explore the art of cyanotypes. The cyanotype is one of the earliest photographic processes, made by placing objects directly on coated paper and exposing it to light, resulting in a detailed and vibrant blue image of the objects’ silhouette without using a camera. Participants create unique compositions of plant specimens, drawings, and found objects, exposing the coated paper to light to make a print. Everyone leaves with one-of-a-kind cyanotypes in a pocket-book and a basic understanding of this accessible and fascinating process. $60 is per participant. 


One half of workshop fee due upon registration.
The balance will be collected at the start of the workshop.

Fields with asterisk are required.
