Who
All ages
Come make sun-prints on fabric with the artist Liz Nielsen. This workshop will include hands-on experimentation with the archaic photographic mark-making process called the Photogram. It is easy and non-toxic.
Liz Nielsen is a photographer whose own works are printed in the analog color darkroom with handmade negatives and found light sources. Meeting together at high noon, Liz will guide you through a process of making colorful works using the sun as a natural superpower!
Bring your ideas and an open mind. Come with a plan, or don’t, and we will make one.
All ages welcome (kids under 8 must be accompanied by a non-participating adult).
