EVENT PROTOCOL & FAQs
Learn to practice the "magic" of this monochrome printing process which produces cyan-blue colored prints!
It’s a joyously fun day using this alternative solar printing process invented in the 1800's.
This is an introduction to the magic that is Cyanotype, the “original” sun-printing process, one of the earliest photographic techniques.
Discovered in 1842 and distinctive for producing rich, Prussian blue monochromatic prints. We will harness the power of the sun to make detailed prints from objects that cast a shadow, with a focus on creating special images of botanicals, leaves and petals from nature.
All materials provided for this workshop. Casual clothes recommended.
*Participants are also welcome to bring their own objects for this experimental printing process (sentimental objects, dried botanicals, etc).
Space is very limited!
Please note that any of the lovely pieces you make in this creative workshop can be creatively used in the upcoming CONCERTINA BOOK workshop
ABOUT MOLLY C. MENG
Molly C. Meng studied literature with a personal minor in collecting other people's lives. An obsession with old ledgers, vintage photos. and every single discarded book that exists, her work reimagines the untold stories behind the otherwise forgotten items of every day.
A self-taught artist, the medium of collage in both paper and textiles is Molly's dominant form of communicating. She successfully weaves the elements of ephemera and storytelling into each piece she creates.
The spectacular beauty of the ordinary is elevated with detail in her work. Molly's work has shown nationally in both museums and galleries located in New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Wisconsin and Montana. She has produced large scale commissions for interior designers, personal homes and a number of Prometheus apartment complexes in Northern California.
Other than creating her own artwork, Molly helps adults and young people lean into their unique talent by teaching creative workshops around the U.S. as well as on an annual retreat in the South of France. Molly C. Meng is currently living and working in Portsmouth, New Hampshire.
