CANCELLED Teen Craft Corner: Sun Printing

Cancelled due to weather. Will come back at a later date. New craft happening in the Teen Room at the same time. 

Meet us in the front yard from 1:00PM-2:00PM on June 9th and create sunprints. In case of rain, materials will still be provided as a take-home project!

Sunprints are an easier form of a cyanotype, which uses chemicals applied to paper. In this case, sunprint paper is pre-coated with chemicals which react when exposed to sunlight because it is photosensitive. This alternative photo process use iron compounds to produce prints, which is why they are blue-toned instead of black-and-white. This familiar blue tone may remind you of blueprints, which originally used the same process.

No artistic skills are necessary for the program. Come have fun and experiment! Participants can bring their own found objects to use if they wish. Otherwise all materials will be supplied.

For those in grades 6-12.
