*NEW** Due to an overwhelming response to this class, this event will be shown on YouTube instead of Zoom. All are welcome!

Art Gallery of Burlington educator Heather Kuzyk talks about cyanotypes—a simple way of making images on blue photosensitive paper. Inspired by the work of internationally renowned Burlington artist P. Mansaram, whose work is now on exhibit at AGB, you will use found botanicals and cut paper to create new images through exposure to natural light. Learn some of the history of Cyanotypes as an early form of photographic printing.

This FREE event is pre-recorded and will be released on BPL’s YouTube channel on November 24 at 2pm.
